CSIRO's Data Access Portal
contains the most
comprehensive archive of pulsar data globally, with over 1.7 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
shows the published observations from the DFB, CASPSR, BPSR and MEDUSA
Parkes pulsar backends for the 2020APR semester (the period April 1st
2020 to September 30th 2020). 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.
