Comments on: accessing data, easier than before but… http://hea-www.harvard.edu/AstroStat/slog/2009/accessing-data/ Weaving together Astronomy+Statistics+Computer Science+Engineering+Intrumentation, far beyond the growing borders Fri, 01 Jun 2012 18:47:52 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4 By: hlee http://hea-www.harvard.edu/AstroStat/slog/2009/accessing-data/comment-page-1/#comment-850 hlee Mon, 26 Jan 2009 22:40:52 +0000 http://hea-www.harvard.edu/AstroStat/slog/?p=301#comment-850 Oh, I completely forgot to mention <a href="http://sohowww.nascom.nasa.gov/data/" rel="nofollow">SOHO data archive</a>. Analyzing SOHO/SUMER observations with IDL was my motivation of pursuing statistics and I believe still much room left for statisticians, computer scientists, and electrical engineers. There are more archive or catalog websites that I know or used to know but I'd like to see expert's introductions about them. Oh, I completely forgot to mention SOHO data archive.

The Chandra catalog that you may be looking for is the CSC: http://cxc.harvard.edu/csc/ The CDA is actually not a catalog, it is “just” a data archive, and as such is geared towards professional X-ray astronomers, and is understandably not easy to use for others.

The information in the link is somewhat out of date; there was a good presentation on similarity searches for time series in December, and there has been a good deal of progress on developing better interfaces to astronomical databases. If you have feedback on user interfaces and such, I think that the group working on it would love to hear.
