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.

Aladin Sky Atlas
-
Aladin is an interactive sky atlas, developed at CDS (Strasbourg,
France), allowing the user to visualize digitized images of any
part of the sky, to superimpose entries from astronomical catalogs
or personal user data files, and to interactively access related
data and information from the Simbad, NED, and Vizier databases
for all known objects in the field.
The set
of sky images consists of the STScI Digital Sky Survey
(DSS-I and DSS-II), as well as an ensemble of higher
resolution images (ESO-R and SERC plates) digitized at the MAMA
facility in Paris.

Astrographic Catalogue 2000
(USNO)
-
The Astrographic Catalogue (AC) was an international effort designed to
photograph and measure the positions of all stars brighter than
magnitude 11.0. In total, over 4.6 million stars were observed,
many as faint as 13th magnitude. This project was started
over 100 years ago. The sky was divided among 20
observatories, by declination zones. Each observatory exposed and measured the
plates of its zone, subsequently publishing the plate measures.
The U.S. Naval Observatory has completed data entry of the
printed volumes of the AC, has completed the data reduction
of each zone, and has converted the positions to the
system defined by Hipparcos. The resulting catalog, called AC 2000,
is now available.

Science Data Operations Office . Currently, the ADC archives hold
more than 670 catalogs of astrometry, photometry, spectroscopy, radio, and
other miscellaneous data for stellar and nonstellar objects. The data
were acquired through exchanges with the Centre de Donn'ees Astronomiques

The sensitivity of the scientific payload allows the detailed study
over the entire energy band of sources as weak as
about 1/20 of 3C273. This opens new perspectives in the
study of broad band X-ray spectra and variability of cosmic
sources. [also in Italian]

Midcourse Space Experiment
(MSX)
-
The MSX observatory is a Ballistic Missile Defense Organization project
which offers major benefits for both the defense and civilian
sectors. It was launched on a Delta II vehicle on
April 24, 1996, into a 900 km, polar, near-Sun synchronous
orbit. The spacecraft featured an advanced multispectral image capability to
gather data on test targets and space background phenomena.
The infrared sensors operated at 11 to 12 degrees Kelvin
by employing a solid hydrogen cryostat. The IR instruments span
the range 4.2 - 26 microns. The focal plane array
consists of five bands and the radiometer beam-size is more
than 25 times smaller than IRAS. As a result, much
greater spatial resolution than anything currently available has been obtained.
The cryogen phase of the mission ended on 26 February
1997. During the ten month cryogen phase of the mission
over 200 Giga Bytes of data on Celestial Backgrounds were
obtained.

Unit and houses a good selection of data from the
UK's ground based telescopes as well as a number of
catalogues.

UK Schmidt Telescope - Wide Field Astronomy Unit
(UKST)
-
The initial task of the UKST was to construct a
photographic survey of the entire southern sky. The telescope still
takes some 700 plates a year - about half for
current surveys and the remainder taken at the request of
research astronomers around the world. To date the UKST has
taken over 17,000 plates, the plates are stored in the
Plate Library at the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh (ROE) and represent
a huge source of data for the astronomical community. Some
300 active research programmes make use of UKST plate material.
Many plates are copied in the ROE Photolabs and sold
as Sky Atlases or Teaching Packages. In addition to its
photographic role the UKST also has a multi-object fibre spectroscopy
system known as FLAIR.

VizieR Catalogue Service
(CDS, Strasbourg)
-
VizieR provides access to the most complete library of published
astronomical catalogues and data tables available on line, organized in
a self-documented database.
Query tools allow the user to
select relevant data tables and to extract and format records
matching given criteria. Specific care has been taken for optimizing
access to some very large catalogues such as Guide
Star Catalog or USNO-A2.

Washington Double Star Catalog
(WDS)
-
The Washington Double Star Catalog (WDS) maintained by the USNO
is the world's principal database of astrometric double and multiple
star data. The WDS Catalog contains positions (J2000), discoverer designations,
epochs, position angles, separations, magnitudes, spectral types, proper motions, and,
when available, Durchmusterung numbers and Notes for the components.

Web to Database Interface
(ESO)
-
WDB is an interface between the World Wide Web and
relational databases. It has been developed at the ESO/ST-ECF
Archive to provide an easy access to the archive databases.
WDB has been designed to be easier to use for
the casual user than STARCAT, even if it doesn't
prove all the same functionality.

Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope observations archive
(WSRT, ASTRON, Dwingeloo)
-
A query form lets you search the catalogue of all
observations done with the WSRT since the beginning of its
operations in 1970. Searches are possible by equatorial or galactic
coordinates, by source name and some other parameters. Requests for
data from the archive may be submitted after selection.

World Data Center A for Rockets and Satellites
(WDC-A, NSSDC)
-
The World Data Center system is an international confederation of
data centers originally established in 1955 to support the exchange
and archiving of data generated by the 1957-8 International Geophysical
Year.
World Data Center-A for Rockets and Satellites is
hosted by NASA's National Space Science Data Center. WDC-A R&S
has responsibilities for spacecraft launch and other descriptive information capture
and dissemination. WDC-A R&S serves as a conduit for requests
from the international community for data from the NSSDC data
archives.

X-Ray WWW Server
(Uppsala Univ.)
-
The Server makes available bibliographies and databases related to x-ray
spectroscopic physics. In particular, the Henke database of atomic scattering
factors can be downloaded. Also, this is the site for
the Atomic and Molecular Core- Edge Excitation Database and Bibliography,
compiled originally by A.P. Hitchcock, and prepared by Hitchcock and
Mancini for electronic distribution (COREXDB). A simple bibliographic search mechanism
has been implemented for the COREX bibliography. A visualization mechanism
is currently being developed to allow Web Browsers to preview
datafiles as in-line GIFs before choosing to download.

XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre
(XMM SSC)
-
The XMM Survey Science Centre (SSC) has responsibilities within the
XMM project in three main areas:
- the
follow-up/identification programme for the XMM serendipitous X-ray sky survey
-
the development of science analysis software for XMM
- the
"pipe-line processing" of all XMM observations.

XMM-Newton catalogue interface
(XCAT-DB)
-
The Xcat-db is a public interface of the XMM-Newton serendipitous
source satalogue constructed by the XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre (
SSC) on behalf of ESA.
The Xcat-db has
been optimized to make complex queries including constraints on correlated
data patterns.
A large number of products related to the
catalogue entries can be browsed and downloaded. CDS databases can
also be queried in relation with selected X-Ray data.
3
other XMM-Newton catalogue interfaces are also available ( XSA,
LEDAS and VizieR).

Zurich Solar Radio Spectrometer
-
The Radio Astronomy Group (RAG) of ETH
in Zurich, Switzerland, recorded solar radio spectrograms with an analog
spectrometer called Daedalus (1974-1993) in the range of 100-1000 MHz.
Its observation list can be accessed directly. Two digital
spectrometers, Ikarus (1978--1985) and PHOENIX (1988--1994), cover a
range from 100--1000 MHz and 0.1--3 GHz, respectively. And since
1998 the new and improved Phoenix-2 Spectrometer covers a
range from 0.1 -4 GHz. These data can be accessed
by the ASPECTimage retrieval system. Their observation list contains references
to frequency programs that indicate which frequencies were observed. More
information can be obtained from RAG members.
