Increased default VM allocated memory to overcome some crashes on huge requests.

Bug fixes:

SearchCal release notes: SearchCal version 4.2

Thu, 23 Sep 2010 17:51:24 +0000

Features:

Added support for embedded cell URLs when available (HD, HIP, 2MASS, SBC9, WDS).
Added support for column header tooltips and units.
Added orbit separations sep1 and sep2 from WDS in detailled views.
Added UD computed diameters.

Added human-readable catalog name in progress bar, when available.

Changes:

Renamed VFlag column to BinFlag in bright N detailled view.
Updated Multiplicity filter to check BinFlag state instead of the Variability filter.
Updated WDS filtering to use sep1 and sep2 (reject when either sewparation below 2 arcseconds).
Harmonized catalogs legend colors and order.
Changed output format for values read from catalog to maximum precision.

Bug fixes:

Fixed Min. and Max. Magnitude textfields to automatically follow Science Object Magnitude changes.
Fixed Variability Flags dispatch in dedicated columns by changin MIDI extracted VFlag UCD from 'CODE_VARIAB' to 'CODE_VARIAB_MIDI'.
Hardened CDS Simbad science star resolution mecanisms while failing.

SearchCal News: Planned SearchCal Outage on March 15 2010

Mon, 08 Mar 2010 15:03:03 +0000

As posted here, Vizier will be unaccessible sometime between 8:00 and 12:00UT on Monday, March. 15 2010.
In consequence, SearchCal will be unavailable as well during this period, as it relies on CDS catalogs to retrieve calibrators data.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

SearchCal FAQ: What is the maximum size of the queried area ?

Fri, 17 Oct 2008 10:15:09 +0000

The maximum size is:
- 240 minutes for RA range;
- 30 degrees for DEC range.

By the way, no bigger values can be entered in the query fields !
