Gator Aid Spatial Search
Gator supports simple cone (circular aperture) searches as well as elliptical searches. For a simple circular search, specify the search radius and leave the axial ratio and position angle fields blank. For elliptical searches specify the semi-major axis (a), the amount of ellipticity (the axial ratio, or a/b), and position angle of the ellipse, in degrees E of N.
Note that if table upload is selected, Gator will use the values of radius/semi-major axis, axial ratio and position angle entered by the user and override the values given in the table. If you want to use the values in the table, please make sure that the entries on this line are blank.
