The CDPP (Centre de Données de la Physique des Plasmas) was created in 1998 jointly by CNES and INSU
as the French national data centre for natural plasmas of the solar system. The CDPP assures the long term preservation
of data obtained primarily from instruments built using French resources, and renders them readily accessible and
exploitable by the international community. The CDPP also provides services to enable on-line data analysis (AMDA),
3D data visualization in context (3DView), and a propagation tool which bridges solar perturbations to in-situ
measurements. The CDPP is involved in the development of interoperability, participates in several
Virtual Observatory projects, and supports data distribution for scientific missions (Solar Orbiter, JUICE).
TITAN is a computer program for calculating the interactions of a dilute plane-parallel medium with electromagnetic radiation. It includes all atomic processes: absorption, recombination, diffusion, excitation, deexcitation of atoms and ions, heating and cooling of the gas, and it solves the radiation transfer, in order to obtain the spectra reemitted by the medium. It handles plan parallel slabs in non LTE steady state, for various physical conditions and various illuminations, valid in many astrophysical situations. It is specifically designed for warm-hot (8000 to 10**8 K) and thick media (till an electron scattering optical depth of several tens) emitting and absorbing in the X-ray range (density from 10**5 to 10**14 cm-3). It computes the physical parameters, ionisation degrees, temperature, density, and the spectrum of the radiated light in each point of the slab, by solving simultaneously the ionisation equations, the equations of statistical equilibrium, the thermal equations and the radiation transfer, using iteration processes.
This resource describes the community webapplication at MSSL. It hosts all the accounts and secure accounts of people organized at MSSL. And possibly other outside people of MSSL but associated with projects of MSSL.
