Database of Local Volume dwarf galaxies and Milky Way star clusters. The database is complete for dwarf galaxies within ~3 Mpc.
The planned limiting distance is ~10 Mpc (i.e. resolved stars with HST or JWST).
The star cluster collections are currently limited to old star clusters/globular clusters in the Milky Way halo and globular clusters/star clusters hosted by low mas dwarf galaxies.
The main data tables are located in the data/ folder in csv format.
A summary pdf document of the database and data files in fits format are on the release page available.
Documentation: readthedocs
The tables can be directly loaded into Jupyter notebooks without having to download the repository:
import astropy.table as table
dwarf_mw = table.Table.read('https://raw.githubusercontent.com/apace7/local_volume_database/main/data/dwarf_mw.csv')
If you use this in your research please include a link to the github repository (https://github.com/apace7/local_volume_database) and cite the database paper (once it is written). It is highly encouraged to cite the input references of the database if they are used in your work. An example in latex is: This work has made use of the Local Volume Database\footnote{\url{https://github.com/apace7/local_volume_database }}.
Todo.
The data is available as csv files (and other files)
