Hi,
Is there a way to cross-match a watchlist with Lasair sources added within the time window, say the last two weeks by specifying the MJD range? Currently the rerun watchlist seems to be cross-matching with all sources so the query times out but Im only looking for a short time period to match against.
To do this, make a filter that includes the watchlist, with a time constrain on jdmax, which is the time of the last detection. I have made an example for you here, which uses the Gaia white dwarfs as the watchlist. Once you have a Lasair login, you can copy it and modify.
Thanks so much - this is great. How do I know the ID corresponding to my watchlist.
Cheers,
Suhail
The watchlist ID is the number at the end of the URL. The white dwarf watchlist that I used for your filter is 1021 – you can see if if you do “Show Query”. You can run queries programmatically with the Lasair client, see for example here.
Hi both, as Forum moderator I’ve marked Roy’s first response as the solution for this topic thread. Based on your response, Suhail, it seems that this (plus the follow up) was what you were looking for. But please feel free to reply in thread if that’s not right, or open a new topic at any time.
Awesome, thanks!
