Description

It seems that ‘query_survey’ in astroquery.eso has not the parameters ‘column_filters’ and ‘columns’ which are included in ‘query_instrument’. Thus how to query phase 3 data (such as VVV survey data) with constraints similar as ‘query_instrument’?

Research direction

Start by reading the astroquery.eso entry points query_survey and query_instrument and compare their supported parameters. Determine how phase 3 data such as VVV can accept constraints analogous to column_filters and columns, then verify the resulting query behavior with the project's existing ESO tests, if available.
