| Parkes Pulsar Data Published in CSIRO's Data Access Portal for 2023APRS |
| 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
2023APR semester (the period April 1st 2023 to September 30th 2023).
Approximately 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.
