             INTRODUCTION

Three of the articles in this issue describe new Internet information services
at the ADC and at it's sister organization, the Astrophysics Data Facility. 
Check them out if you're interested in getting catalogs or space observatory
data over the 'net.

For the first time, the ADC is planning to archive selected Solar datasets.  
See Nancy Roman's article for more information.

What? No article on the new ADC CD-ROM?  Don't be misled...work on this new
data product will soon be finished.  Plans are for the disks to be
manufactured this Fall, with projected public availability in January.

The ADC welcomes two new members to its staff.  Ms. Julie Ann Watko joined us
in September.  Julie Ann is a recent graduate in physics and drama from the
Catholic University of America.  She is providing technical documentation
support on a part time basis.  Mr. James H. Blackwell has joined our ranks
this month.  He comes to us from the HST GHRS instrument staff.  Jim will be
providing programming and system support to the ADC on a part time basis. 
Both Julie Ann and Jim are new employees of Hughes STX, the ADC's support
contractor.
  
The ADC's staffers also welcome Dr. Kirk D. Borne who has joined the
contractor management team.  Kirk joined Hughes STX this Summer.  His last
position was at the Space Telescope Science Institute.  He is now the manager
of the astrophysics Department of Hughes STX's Space Science Data Operations
Office support team. 

Finally, the staff of the ADC would like to thank Dr. Francoise Genova, the
new Head of the Centre de Donnees astronomiques de Strasbourg for her recent
visit to the ADC.  Dr. Genova's visit was both productive and enlightening.

                 Announcing the ADC's New Internet Services 
               Gail L. Schneider and James E. Gass (Hughes STX)

To better serve its users, the ADC has established a new Internet site hosting
enhanced World Wide Web and FTP access to the ADC's archives.  The new WWW
home page is located at the URL
    
  http://adc.astro.umd.edu/ 

From this page, Web users can easily explore the ADC's new FTP site, query a
database of descriptions of the catalogs and journal tables, or search back
issues of this newsletter.  

In order to facilitate full-text searches of all of the on-line catalog and
journal file descriptive "ReadMe" files, we have added a skeleton readme file
to each catalog directory which does not have a standard ReadMe file. It is
important to note that these files are incomplete. For example, the skeleton
readme files do not contain format tables. The user is advised to refer to the
additional documentation where available.

Perhaps the biggest single improvement is that now, the entire public data
holdings of the ADC are retrievable from magnetic disk via anonymous FTP. 
This should be quicker and more convenient for users than the  previous
WORM-based system.  The ADC now has over 760 astronomical catalogs and 550
journal tables retrievable on-line via anonymous FTP.  

For direct FTP access, from Internet connect as follows:

ftp adc.astro.umd.edu  or  128.183.106.99

Log in as "anonymous".

Once connected, move to the pub/adc/archives subdirectory which is the root of
the catalog and journal table archive directories.  You will normally find a
"key" file present at each level of the directory tree which contains an index
of each subdirectory.

Please note that all catalogs and journal tables except for the "ReadMe" files
are stored in a UNIX compressed format. The "ReadMe" file, should be read
first, it normally contains the catalog and journal table  identification, a
summary of the files, description of the data and  format description. When
copying the files via anonymous FTP be sure to  use the binary option, and the
decompression program "gunzip" on the copied  files in order to obtain the
original files.

This service replaces the ADC On-line Information System running under the 
NSSDC On-line Data and Information System (NODIS).  The ADC NODIS service 
will remain operational for a brief transition period.  Please be aware that
many of the catalogs and all of the journal tables are not available through
this service.

The ADC FTP server is also available via the WWW at 
ftp://adc.astro.umd.edu/pub/adc.

If you have any questions, send a message to help@adc.astro.umd.edu.

                         ADC to Archive Some Solar Data
                          Nancy G. Roman (Hughes STX)

Originally, the ADC (and the CDS) archived only stellar data. Some years ago,
data for galaxies and other non-stellar objects were added to the archive.
More recently, a separate archive category was established for radio data. In
the near future, the ADC plans to begin archiving selected solar data.
Specifically, we shall archive those catalogs and data files which describe
the moderately permanent characteristics of the sun as a star. We expect these
files to be primarily spectral data but will consider photometry and other
data as well. We hope that the solar community will forward to us appropriate
catalogs that are not included on the AAS CD-ROMs or in the A&A journals.

     WISARD: A Web Interface for Searching Archival Research Data on NDADS 

          Nancy A. Oliversen, Patricia J. Lawton (Hughes STX), 
           and Michael E. Van Steenberg (NASA/GSFC) 

The Astrophysics Data Facility (ADF) at the Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC)
announces the availability of a new Web Interface for Searching Archival
Research Data (WISARD) on the NASA Data Archive and Distribution Service
(NDADS).   WISARD has been developed in order to improve the accessibility of
data archived on NDADS and to facilitate multi-wavelength, multi-mission
research using the NDADS archives and related public archives.   WISARD
supports queries on fields which are common between the various NDADS
astrophysical catalogs (i.e. target coordinates and date of observation); 
choice of search epoch; access to the SIMBAD name/coordinate resolver;
catalog-specific field searches (e.g. instrument, object class, etc.); search
criteria refinements; union and intersection queries on multiple catalogs;
default and user-specified display of the query results; and subsequent NDADS
and EUVE public archive data requests. 

The NDADS near-line archive currently contains about 1200 Gigabytes of space
science data from 17 NASA astrophysics projects and 7 NASA space physics
missions.  This first WISARD interface is primarily focussed on the
astrophysical data archived on NDADS.  WISARD initially contains catalogs of
the IUE, WUPPE/Astro 1, HUT/Astro 1, ROSAT, IRAS (Pointed Observation
Catalog), and the EUVE public data archives.  Additional NDADS mission
catalogs will be added to WISARD as time permits. 

WISARD utilizes a forms-based World Wide Web (WWW) interface to Interactive
Data Language (IDL) software.  The mission catalogs are stored in IDL
databases. Some of the underlying IDL software in WISARD is based on software
originally developed by the Goddard High Resolution Spectrograph (GHRS), the
International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE), and the Ultraviolet Imaging
Telescope (UIT) science teams.  The IUE merged log of observations was
provided via a collaborative effort with the IUE Data Analysis Center
(IUEDAC). 

WISARD is accessible via the World Wide Web (WWW).  The URL is:

  http://hypatia.gsfc.nasa.gov/wisard/wisard.html

Please contact noliversen@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov or mev@nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov
with any other questions and/or comments about WISARD.

                 New WWW Access to the IRAS Data Products
                         Seth W. Digel (Hughes STX)

The NASA/GSFC Astrophysics Data Facility (ADF) has announced a new service to
facilitate access to the Infrared Astronomical Satellite (IRAS) data held in
NASA's Data Archive and Distribution Service (NDADS).  All 23 IRAS data
products, ranging from sky survey images to catalogs of point sources, with a
total volume of approximately 80 Gbytes, are accessible through the new
WWW-based interface, which also has collected basic documentation about the
data products.

The IRAS spacecraft mapped the sky with three nearly-complete sky coverage in
four infrared bands (12, 25, 60, and 100 microns) during its 10-month mission
in 1983.  In addition to the detectors used for the sky survey, the focal
plane included a low-resolution IR spectrometer, which was used to obtain
spectra of several thousand bright point sources observed in the surveys, and
a two-band IR photometer, used to make small maps of selected regions at 50
and 100 microns.

Two basic data products from the IRAS mission, the Point Source Catalog of
some 250,000 sources and the IRAS Sky Survey Atlas of images are well known,
but several others have not been widely distributed or conveniently accessible
before.  Among these are the Pointed Observations catalog of about 7000
sensitive, non survey-mode observations of selected sources and the Point
Source Reject catalog, which contains candidate point sources which failed one
or more of the selection tests for inclusion in the Point Source Catalog.

The IRAS pages may be accessed at the following URL:

  http://www.gsfc.nasa.gov/astro/iras/iras_home.html

A forms-compatible browser is required to identify images of interest and to
request data. (If you lack access to such a browser, you may follow the
instructions provided at

  http://nssdca.gsfc.nasa.gov/ndads/archives_homepage.html 

to submit an e-mail request for data from NDADS.)  User comments and
suggestions about the service are solicited and a feedback form is provided.
