| Parkes Pulsar Data Published in CSIRO's Data Access Portal for 2022OCTS |
| by Lawrence Toomey |
|
CSIRO's
Data Access Portal (https://data.csiro.au/)
contains the most comprehensive archive of pulsar data globally, with over 4 Petabytes
from the Parkes radio telescope, Murriyang, 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 MEDUSA Parkes pulsar backends for the
2022OCT semester (the period October 1st 2022 to March 31st 2023).
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 statutory 18-month embargo period, thereafter the data become public.
