Normalized optical spectra from the Skinakas 1.3 m telescope support the Search for Milli-Lenses (SMILE) project. Dmitry Blinov published this dataset on Harvard Dataverse in July 2026 to provide spectroscopic redshifts for flat-spectrum radio-loud AGN. The data aims to identify gravitational lens systems on milli-arcsecond scales using VLBI observations.
Use Cases
- Determining spectroscopic redshifts for flat-spectrum radio sources based on the optical spectra
- Supporting the identification of gravitational lens systems on milli-arcsecond scales as part of the SMILE project
- Analyzing the properties of radio-loud AGN that lacked previous secure spectroscopic measurements
- Cross-referencing optical spectral data with VLBI observations for multi-wavelength studies
Strengths
- Spectra are continuum-normalized, which is a standard processing step for analysis
- Data is explicitly linked to a published research paper (arXiv:2607.04959), providing context
- Observations were conducted with the Skinakas 1.3 m telescope, a known instrument
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment
- Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download
