At the top of every Lasair page is a form that can be filled in to do various kinds of search. The following are supported:

  • Search by RA and Dec decimal degrees, delimited by space or comma:

308.590715 9.278195
308.590715, 9.278195
  • Search by RA and Dec sexagesimal coordinates, delimited by space or comma:

20:34:21.7  09:16:41.5
20:34:21.7, 09:16:41.5
  • Adding a search radius in arcseconds to any of the previous, for example:

308.590715 9.278195 60
  • Search by object identifier, for example ZTF23aacvrxx

  • Search by TNS identifier, for example AT2020iry or SN2020iry or 2020iry.
