Search for Images by Object Name

Help | Comment | NED Home

New   Through a collaboration with IRSA and the NVO, FITS images archived in NED can now be queried by celestial coordinates and areal coverage. The complete set of FITS images and scanned maps (JPEGs and GIFs) in NED can also be queried below by entering the Object Name for the primary target in the field.
Object Name:

If, AFTER a search, you retrieve a compressed FITS version of an image, and if you are using Netscape Navigator, the browser may remove the ".gz" extension to the FITS image filename -- but the file may still be in "gzip" format. In this case, you may either
  1. Add the ".gz" extension to the filename after you have retrieved it, then "gunzip" the file as usual; or
  2. Modify your Navigator "Options" to avoid the problem altogether, then retrieve the image again. See the <"Help" file> on this page for details.
