CSIRO's Data Access Portal
contains the most comprehensive archive of pulsar data globally, with
over 1.3 Petabytes from the Parkes radio telescope available for
download.
The DAP is VO compatible and can be queried using Virtual Observatory tools such as
TOPCAT. The
TOPCAT image above shows the published observations from the DFB,
CASPSR, BPSR and MEDUSA Parkes pulsar backends for the 2019APR
semester (the period April 1st to September 30th 2019). Approximately
2TB of new pulsar data are added to the archive each day. Access to
new data is restricted to project teams during the statutory 18 month
embargo period, thereafter the data become public.
