This survey comprises the compressed digitization of the Southern Sky
Survey and the Palomar Sky Survey E plates as distributed on CD ROM
by the Space Telescope Science Institute. Coverage of the entire
sky is included.
This survey consists of the digititized Southern Sky Survey conducted
at the UK Southern Schmidt Survey Group by the Royal Observatory, Edinburgh
(prior to 1988) and the Anglo-Australian Observatory (since 1988)
Additional plates covering regions with bright objects are also
included.
The plates were digitized at the Space Telescope Science Institute
and compressed using algorithms developed by R.White. These
data are distributed on a set of 101 CD-ROMs.
<P>
The following data are included:
<DL>
<DT>Southern hemisphere
<DD>
SERC Southern Sky Survey and the SERC J Equatorial extension.
These are typically deep, 3600s, IIIa-J exposures with a GG395 filter.
Also included are 94 short (1200s) V exposures typically at Galactic
latitudes below 15&#176;;. Special exposures are included in
the regions of the Magellenic clouds.
<DT>Northern hemisphere
<dd> The northern hemisphere is covered by 644 plates from the POSS E
survey. A special exposure of the M31 region that is distributed on
the CD ROMs is not used in <i> SkyView </i>.

This database accesses the FITS lightcurves obtained from the A detector part of the GSFC Cosmic X-ray Spectroscopy experiment (GCXSE) on board OSO8. The Orbiting Solar Observatory-I (OSO-8) was launched on 21 June 1975 into a 550 km circular orbit at 33 degrees inclination. While the primary objectives of the mission were solar in nature, there were 3 detectors (the GCXSE detectors A, B and C) which had exclusively non-solar objectives. The energy band was 2-60 keV for the A and C detector and 2-20 keV for the B detector. The spacecraft structure consisted of a rotating cylindrical base section called the "wheel" and a non-spinning upper section called the "sail". The GCXSE detectors were mounted in the rotating wheel and their fields-of-view were either aligned to the spin axis (B and C) or at small angles to it (A), hence they always viewed the portion of the sky at right angles to the earth-sun line. The GCXSE detectors obtained data until late September 1978. This is a service provided by NASA HEASARC .

This database accesses the pha FITS datafiles for the A, B, and C GCXSE detectors. Data was accumulated every quarter of a rotation period (~2.56 s) for the A detector and every 40.96 s for the B and C detectors in the 2-60 keV energy band.

The PACS Evolutionary Probe (PEP, Lutz et al. 2011) is a Herschel guaranteed time deep extragalactic survey (KPGT_dlutz_1) targeting six among the most popular "blank fields", ten lensing clusters of galaxies, and two z ~1 clusters at wavelengths of 100 and 160 microns. PEP includes SPIRE observations of the two z ~1 clusters at wavelengths of 250, 350, and 500 microns. SPIRE coverage of all other fields is available from the HerMES survey (Oliver et al. 2010). In addition, deep SPIRE GOODS-N data are provided by the GOODS-Herschel program (Elbaz et al. 2011).
All Herschel observations are processed through an automatic pipeline, which corrects a number of instrumental artifacts. The Highly Processed Data Products (HPDP) have gone through additional interactive processing, and represent an improvement over the standard products. HPDP from Herschel's Photoconductor Array Camera and Spectrometer (PACS) are available for JScanam maps, Unimap maps, and Red Leak Spectra.
The Panchromatic Hubble Andromeda Treasury is a Hubble Space Telescope Multi-cycle program to map roughly a third of M31's star forming disk,
using 6 filters covering from the ultraviolet through the near infrared. With HST's resolution and sensitivity, the disk of M31 will be resolved
into more than 100 million stars, enabling a wide range of scientific endeavors.
During the years 2004 to 2017, the Palomar 60 inch telescope (P60) operated as a fully robotic facility to obtain targeted optical observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows and other transient events. An automated pipeline reduced the data in real time. The raw, calibration, and pipeline-processed data are available here.
