A set of handy scripts related to POSSUM

Main directory

Grab closest POSSUM field and tile

get_POSSUM_field_sbid_and_tile.py

Query POSSUM status sheet for some target (name) or RA,DEC. Returns the closest field and tile, whether they've been processed, and direct download links to the data (requires CANFAR login).

Example usage:

python get_POSSUM_field_sbid_and_tile.py -t "Abell 3627"

or

python get_POSSUM_field_sbid_and_tile.py --coords 246.85 -60.32

Query POSSUM status

query_status.py

Query POSSUM status page maintained by Cameron van Eck for some target RA,DEC

Simply scrapes the data from the HTML source page: view-source:https://www.mso.anu.edu.au/~cvaneck/possum/aladin_survey_band1.html and checks whether coordinates fall inside one of the field with a certain status.

Assumes flat sky, so might not work for sources on boundary of observations? Probably superseded by get_POSSUM_field_sbid_and_tile.py
