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 is a Hammer-Aitoff projection in Galactic
coordinates of the published observations from the DFB, CASPSR, BPSR
and MEDUSA Parkes pulsar backends for the 2020OCT semester (the period
October 1st 2020 to March 31st 2021). The insert shows observations
around OJ 287 (P1090; Dey) . 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.
