| Parkes Pulsar Data Published in CSIRO's Data Access Portal for 2021APRS |
| by Lawrence Toomey (S&A) |
|
CSIRO's
Data Access Portal contains the
most comprehensive archive of pulsar data globally, with over 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 is a Hammer-Aitoff projection in Galactic coordinates of the
published observations from the DFB and MEDUSA Parkes pulsar backends for the
2022APR semester (the period April 1st 2022 to September 30th 2022).
Approximately 2-3TB of new pulsar data are added to the archive each day.
Access to new data is restricted to project teams during the 18-month
proprietary period -- thereafter the data become public.
