IDEOS queries can be conducted in several ways:

◘ A target name search will bring up a single-source results page with all measured observables for the target plus plots detailing how the observables were measured from the Spizer-IRS spectrum.
◘ A target position search will list observables for all IDEOS sources within the search radius around the selected position (default 0.1' = 6").
◘ A search by IDEOS constraints allows to select a target sample by using conditionals on IDEOS observables and other IDEOS quantities to constrain the sample size. For instance NE3_15NE2RATIO>1, MIDIRCLASS='3B', SNR17>100, or PAH62EQW>0.7 AND SILSTRENGTH>-1.5
◘ A search by IDEOS ID allows examination of the results for a specific Spitzer-IRS observation. The IDEOS ID is formed by stringing together the AOR key, underscore, and cluster ID. E.g. "4935168_0"

Customizing the output table:

◘ Use the "show/hide columns" menu to customize what output columns are shown.
◘ The targets listed in the output sample can be ranked (from low to high, or vice versa) by the measured value of a single observable by clicking on the name of that observable in the header of the output table.
◘ Click on the IDEOS ID in the leftmost column to access detailed information on the fits to each of the features for the selected target.

Search by name/position (?) Search by name and click 'resolve' to populate search with galaxy coordinates. Then click 'search' below. You can also manually input galaxy coordinates with an angular radius to perform the search. Target   RA    h   m  s deg (decimal) DEC   ° ' " deg (decimal) Radius   ' All coordinates ICRS Search Clear

Search by Conditionals (?) Note: Constraints are composed of inequalities conjoined by SQL logical operators (AND, OR, NOT etc.), using the variable names corresponding to entries in the table. Documentation on the possible variable names is available here. Example: to find very blue objects, one can interrogate the synthetic photometry: irs15flux > 2 * mips24flux Constraints   Search Clear

Search by IDEOS ID (?) If you know the IDEOS ID of your source, you can enter it directly here to be taken to the list of data we have available. An IDEOS ID is made up of the AOR key, an underscore and the Cluster ID (non-zero only for true cluster observations), e.g. "3732736_0". IDEOS ID   Search Clear
