Data and Archive Centers 1st High Energy Astrophysics Observatory ( HEAO 1. GSFC. NASA ) The first of NASA's three High Energy Astronomy Observatories, HEAO 1 was launched aboard an Atlas Centaur rocket on 12 August 1977 and operated until 9 January 1979. During that time, it scanned the X-ray sky almost three times over 0.2 keV - 10 MeV, provided nearly constant monitoring of X-ray sources near the ecliptic poles, as well as more detailed studies of a number of objects through pointed observations. 2nd High Energy Astrophysics Observatory ( HEAO 2, renamed Einstein. GSFC. NASA ) The second High Energy Astronomy Observatory (HEAO-B) was launched into an approximate 100-min low Earth orbit on 13 November 1978. Renamed the Einstein Observatory, it operated (with one significant interruption) until April 1981 and made over 5,000 targeted observations. ADS Einstein Archive Service ( Einstein ) This service provides query and retrieval capability for the Einstein X-ray Observatory's processed data archive. The archive includes about 5000 X-ray observations (in astronomical standard FITS format) taken between 1978 and 1981. Advanced Stars: a Tool for Relating Informations and Data ( ASTRID ) ASTRID is a data base of stars in an advanced evolutionary stage, peculiarly of red giants, AGB and post-AGB variables. The database gathers in the same tool observational data with comments and results from models.

RAI Data Archives Projects The BIMA Data Archive When it was first brought on-line in 1994, the BIMA Data Archive was the first telescope archive that could deliver data to astronomers over the Web. Since then, the RAI group has developed it into a highly-automated archiving system for the Berkeley-Maryland-Illinois Array Telescope (BIMA) . In this system, raw data is transfered in real-time from the telescope in Northern California to an archive at NCSA where the data is made available to astronomers via a Web interface. A major goal of the development was to facilitate near-real-time observing in which the data could be quickly processed with an NCSA supercomputer so that the results could be used to steer the observations. Access to the archive is restricted to BIMA observers. For more information on the BIMA Data Archive system, see the paper by Plante and Crutcher (1997) The NCSA Astronomy Digital Image Library This public digital library collects research-quality astronomical images and makes them available to researchers and the general public via the Web. Visitors can search the contents of the Library, browse the images, and download them for further analysis. It also allows astronomers to add their images to the Libraries collection, facilitating data publishing as a new way to share scientific results. The BIMA Image Pipeline The BIMA Image Pipeline is a new system under development that extends the capabilities of BIMA as a networked telescope. As an extension of the BIMA Data Archive, this system will automatically turn raw telescope data into images that are ready for analysis by BIMA astronomers. As data is transfered from the telescope to the Archive at NCSA, it will be sent on to the pipeline for processing with the help of the

Box 50727, 28080 Madrid, Spain Abstract: The IUE Archive was the first astronomical archive to be made accessible on-line, back in 1985, when the World Wide Web didn't even exist. The archive stores more than 110000 spectra which span nearly two decades of Ultraviolet Astronomy. The IUE Newly Extracted Spectra System (INES), a complete astronomical archive and its associated data distribution system, was developed with the goal of delivering IUE data to the scientific community in a simple and efficient form. Data distribution is structured into three levels: a Principal Centre at LAEFF (Laboratory for Space Astronomy and Theoretical Physics, owned by the Spanish National Institute for Aerospace Technology) and its Mirror at CADC , a number of National Hosts (currently 22), and an unlimited number of end users. The INES Principal Centre can be reached at

Next: Research activities at the Up: Previous: Mirror copies of public Contents The ASDC in the international context All major nations and agencies operating scientific satellites have set up stable data centers to archive and distribute space data and to support their community of users. In the USA a number of major data centers have been active for several years. These include the NASA High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC) (http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov) dedicated to high energy space data. The Chandra Science Center, mostly dedicated to the recently launched Chandra X-ray Astronomy Observatory (http://asc.harvard.edu/). The Hubble Data Archive (http://archive.stsci.edu/) for near Infra-Red, Optical and UV data. The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic database (http://nedwww.ipac.caltech.edu/) and the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC) (http://www.ipac.caltech.edu/) for catalogued data, bibliography, and Infrared space data. Several other data archives exist to support ground based astronomy data. Examples are the NRAO/VLA Sky Survey (http://www.cv.nrao.edu/jcondon/nvss.html, the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (http://www.sdss.org/) etc. The situation in Europe is somewhat different since ESA does not have a general data archive facility, but a number of archives (in ESTEC, ST-ECF, VILSPA) each dedicated to one or a small number of missions.

The Small Bodies Node Welcome to the Small Bodies Node of the NASA Planetary Data System The Planetary Data System (PDS) is a distributed archive of solar system data, prepared in a standard format for use primarily by astronomical observers and mission planners, as well as educators and students. The Small Bodies Node (SBN) specializes in data concerning asteroids, comets and interplanetary dust. Job Annoucement: SBN Manager/Research Associate Click here for details! Data Services at this Node SBN on-line data archives , with immediately downloadable catalogs and datasets for: Mission Data and Support , includes data for 18 completed, active, and upcoming small body missions such as Giotto, Galileo, NEAR, Deep Space 1, Cassini, Stardust, Rosetta, and Deep Impact. Special data collections gathered and maintained in support of these missions are also included. NEAR Archive and Data Analysis Program Asteroids (at PSI) Comets Interplanetary Dust Small Bodies Data Base The Small Bodies Data Base (SBDB), currently in development, will combine the contents of all our online catalogs with our catalog of offline data to provide direct access to both datasets and individual results. The SBDB will eventually allow users to identify objects based on observed properties and to retrieve data relevant to specific selected objects. During the first stage of implementation, each online catalog is ingested into the database and the contents made available for display based on object identification. A cross-identification utility is built into the interface, so that only a single ID need be entered to retrieve all available data relevant to the object.

Crabtree (San Francisco: ASP), 137 Using DVD-R for Storing Astronomical Archive Data (cont'd) B. Pirenne Space Telescope - European Coordinating Facility, European Southern Observatory, D-85748 Garching, Germany Abstract: At last year's ADASS the status of the DVD technology and its prospects for storing astronomical data for the long term were presented. This time, I want to review the current state of our (still) favorite successor of the CD-R for astronomical data storage: the DVD-R. The second generation with full 4.7 GB density per volume has finally appeared, the software to write the media is also available for a variety of computer platforms. The media price is going down to the level of 40USD per media, bringing the price/GB of medium size archives with the newest jukeboxes down to about 15USD/GB. Media producers are now also seriously considering the introduction of double-sided media, which would take this price further down, to about 11USD/GB, far less than last year's most optimistic estimates. Our current experience with first generation media is now very positive, to the point that ESO is now implementing the production of DVD-R archive media directly at the observatory.
