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. - James E. Gass (Hughes STX), Editor * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * 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. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * NEWLY ACQUIRED AND UPDATED CATALOGS/JOURNAL TABLES Gail L. Schneider (Hughes STX) The following catalogs and journal tables are currently available from the ADC through the Web at http://adc.astro.umd.edu/adc/adc_archives_access.html. The ADC On-line Information Service for Astronomical catalogs running under NODIS is being replaced by Telnet access to this ADC Web page. The NODIS service is no longer being updated or maintained. 1098A New Luyten Catalogue of Stars with Proper Motions Larger than Two Tenths of an Arcsecond (Luyten, W.J. 1979, 1980, University of Minnesota; Warren Jr., W.H., et al. 1989, AJ, 97, 1480) Comment(s): from CDS, standardized 1215 Tables of membership for 43 open clusters (1994 Version) (Zhao, J.L. and Tian, K.P. 1995, CDS Bull.

It is a free service that we hope you will find of value. The ADC can no longer support BITnet node names. If you have given us a BITnet address, did not receive a recent message from us, and wish to continue to receive the ADC Electronic Newsletter, please re-subscribe with an Internet address. We have put a great deal of time and effort into finding Internet addresses but were not always successful. If any of your colleagues would like to subscribe, they can send E-mail to Majordomo@nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov and put the command SUBSCRIBE ADC-SUBSCRIBERS in the body of the message -- not in the subject line. You will receive two messages, the first is a standard Majordomo response and the second is a "welcome" message. If you do not want to receive any more issues, send E-mail to Majordomo@nssdc.gsfc.nasa.gov and in the body of the message put in the command "unsubscribe adc-subscribers". Hypertext versions of the back issues are available via WWW. These can be found through the ADC home page, at URL http://adc.astro.umd.edu/ or ASCII text versions are also available via anonymous FTP to adc.astro.umd.edu in directory pub/adc/adc_enews. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * FOR ASSISTANCE OR INFORMATION > GENERAL INQUIRIES DEALING WITH CATALOG REQUESTS CONTACT: Requesters WITHIN the United States: NSSDC Coordinated Request and User Support Office NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Code 633.4 Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 USA Requesters OUTSIDE the United States: World Data Center-A for Rockets and Satellites NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Code 633 Greenbelt, Maryland 20771 USA For all requesters: Internet: REQUEST@NSSDCA.GSFC.NASA.GOV NSI-DECnet: NSSDCA::REQUEST Telephone: (301) 286-6695; FAX: (301) 286-1771 > GENERAL INQUIRIES ON ASTRONOMICAL CATALOGS, DATA SUBMISSION, AVAILABILITY, > THE ADC ONLINE INFORMATION SYSTEM AND WORLD WIDE WEB ACCESS: Gail L.
