conesearch (class)

class conesearch(log, dbConn, tableName, columns, ra, dec, radiusArcsec, sqlWhere=False, raCol='raDeg', decCol='decDeg', separations=False, distinct=False, closest=False)[source]

Bases: object

The worker class for the conesearch module

Key Arguments

  • log – logger

  • dbConn – a database connection

  • tableName – the name of the database table to perform the conesearch on.

  • columns – the columns requested from the database table

  • ra – the right ascension of the conesearch centre, can be single value or list of values

  • dec – the declination of the conesearch centre, can be single value or list of values

  • radiusArcsec – radius of the conesearch to be performed in arcsecs

  • sqlWhere – clause to add after “where” in the initial sql query of the conesearch. Default False

  • raCol – the database table ra column name. Default * raDeg*

  • decCol – the database table dec column name. Default decDeg

    • separations – include the separations in the final output. Default False

    • distinct – request distinct columns from the database table (i.e. select DISTINCT …). Default False

    • closest – return the closest match only. Default False

Usage

Say we have 5 locations we wish to search a database table called transientBucket to see if it contains sources at those locations. Add the coordinates to those locations to RA and DEC lists like so:

raList = ["23:25:53.56",  "02:10:08.16",
       "13:20:00.00", 1.47329, 35.34279]
decList = ["+26:54:23.9",  "-48:38:24.3",
        "+24:18:00.00",  8.43016, -42.34428]

Note coorinates can be in decimal degrees or sexegesimal format (or both).

To initialise a 10 arcsec conesearch to return the transientBucketId and spectralType values from any resulting match use the code:

from HMpTy.mysql import conesearch
cs = conesearch(
    log=log,
    dbConn=dbConn,
    tableName="transientBucket",
    columns="transientBucketId, spectralType",
    ra=raList,
    dec=decList,
    radiusArcsec=10,
    separations=False,
    distinct=False,
    sqlWhere=False
)

Using the query property of the coneseach object you can inspect the initial sql query to be run on the database:

print(cs.query)
select transientBucketId, spectralType, raDeg, decDeg from transientBucket where htm16ID in (51985593986,51985593989,51985593993,51985593994,51985593995,51985593996,51985593997,51985593998,51985593999,51985594037, ... ,38488627914,38488627916,38488627918,38488627919,38488627956,38488627957,38488627959)

To execute the query and return the results:

matchIndies, matches = cs.search()

The matchIndies are the indices of the coordinate in the original raList and decList lists and the matches the matched rows from the database table.

To constrain your results a little more define the distinct and or sqlWhere attributes of the conesearch:

from HMpTy.mysql import conesearch
cs = conesearch(
    log=log,
    dbConn=dbConn,
    tableName="transientBucket",
    columns="transientBucketId, spectralType",
    ra=raList1,
    dec=decList1,
    radiusArcsec=10,
    separations=True,
    distinct=True,
    sqlWhere="spectralType is not null"
)


    matchIndies, matches = cs.search()

    for row in matches.list:
        print(row)
```text
{'raDeg': 351.473208333, 'cmSepArcsec': 0.13379807128325164, 'decDeg': 26.9066388889, 'spectralType': u'SN Ia', 'transientBucketId': 1375799L}
{'raDeg': 32.534, 'cmSepArcsec': 0.031941633602975743, 'decDeg': -48.6400888889, 'spectralType': u'II', 'transientBucketId': 1328883L}
{'raDeg': 1.47329166667, 'cmSepArcsec': 0.0068727452774991196, 'decDeg': 8.43016111111, 'spectralType': u'SN Ia', 'transientBucketId': 1321322L}
{'raDeg': 35.3427916667, 'cmSepArcsec': 0.0043467057710126393, 'decDeg': -42.3442805556, 'spectralType': u'Ia', 'transientBucketId': 1307226L}
```

Note that by adding ``separations=True`` the matched source seperations from the original coordinate lists have been injected into the results.

It is possible to render the results in csv, json, markdown, yaml or ascii table format. For example:

```python
print(matches.table())
```

```text
+-----------+---------------+-----------+--------------+--------------------+
| raDeg     | spectralType  | decDeg    | cmSepArcsec  | transientBucketId  |
+-----------+---------------+-----------+--------------+--------------------+
| 351.4732  | SN Ia         | 26.9066   | 0.1338       | 1375799            |
| 32.5340   | II            | -48.6401  | 0.0319       | 1328883            |
| 1.4733    | SN Ia         | 8.4302    | 0.0069       | 1321322            |
| 35.3428   | Ia            | -42.3443  | 0.0043       | 1307226            |
+-----------+---------------+-----------+--------------+--------------------+
```

To save the results to file:

```python
matches.table(filepath="/path/to/my/results.dat")
```

To instead render as csv, json, markdown or yaml use:

```python
matches.csv(filepath="/path/to/my/results.csv")
matches.json(filepath="/path/to/my/results.json")
matches.markdown(filepath="/path/to/my/results.md")
matches.markdown(filepath="/path/to/my/results.yaml")
```

Finally, to render the results as mysql inserts, use the following code:

```python
matches.mysql(tableName="mysql_table", filepath=None, createStatement=False)
```
