Parkes Pulsar Data Published in CSIRO's Data Access Portal for 2021APRS |
by Lawrence Toomey |
CSIRO's
Data Access Portal contains the
most comprehensive archive of pulsar data globally, with over 1.9
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. This
TOPCAT image is a Hammer-Aitoff projection in Galactic coordinates of
the published observations from the DFB and MEDUSA Parkes pulsar
backends for the 2021APR semester (the period April 1st 2021 to
September 30th 2021). 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.
