| The Telescope Archive for Pool and AstronomerS, TAPAS, will contain the '''header information''' of '''all''' astronomical observations conducted at the IRAM 30m telescope. TAPAS has been a joint IAA-CSIC/IRAM effort over the past 3 years since 2005, partially funded by the Spanish ministry via grant AYA2005-07516-C02. TAPAS will contain more than 200 header variables for each observational scan, encompassing |
'''Header Data''' |
| Line 16: | Line 15: |
| * information on the observing setup (source, frequency, observing mode, etc.), * information on the project (PI, Title, etc.), * the status of the system at the time of the observations (telescope, receiver, backend, weather, etc.), - and also the results of calibrations, of pointing and focus scans, except for the bolometer. Such bolometer data will be added later. |
A subset of the astronomical header data will be made accessible with a delay of 12 months from the end of the scheduling semester in which the project was observed. TAPAS will provide access via web interfaces and search tools, and a Virtual Observatory facility for query and retrieval of header data. For each scan, the subset will encompass the project number, source name and position, date of observations, LST time, integration time, observing mode, and sky frequency. IRAM staff will have immediate and unrestricted access to all header data. |
| Line 20: | Line 17: |
| After a proprietary period of one year, a subset of these header data will be made available for unrestricted access via web interfaces and search tools. TAPAS will also provide a Virtual Observatory ConeSearch facility for query and retrieval. For each scan, the subset will encompass the project number, source name and position, date of observations, LST time, integration time, observing mode, and sky frequency. [''This is essentially the information and proprietary period of the PdBI data for the CDMS.''] IRAM staff will have immediate and unrestricted access to all data. |
'''Astronomical Data''' |
| Line 23: | Line 19: |
| It is planned that TAPAS contains header information of all data taken after 1.1.2009. TAPAS does not contain any astronomical heterodyne or bolometer data. However, TAPAS provides the possibility to link the header data of individual scans to FITS files containing the uncalibrated astronomical data. Access rights to any astronomical data in TAPAS depend on the project: In general, the proprietary period is indefinite. The PI and IRAM decide when to make astronomical data public. For large programs, access to all data will be granted after a 18 months proprietary period. The proprietary period starts when the last observations of a given project are finished. |
TAPAS does not contain any astronomical heterodyne or bolometer data, but it provides the possibility to link the header data of individual scans to FITS files containing the uncalibrated astronomical data. Access to uncalibrated astronomical data is reserved to the exclusive use of the principal investigator and the observing team of a successful program. Only for data observed in the framework of a ''Large Program'', general access is granted with a delay of 18 months from the end of the scheduling semester in which the project was observed. Astronomers interested in reducing and analysing data from a program other than a ''Large Program'', are invited to collaborate with the observing team or request a written authorization from the principal investigators for the release of project specific data. |

Header Data
A subset of the astronomical header data will be made accessible with a delay of 12 months from the end of the scheduling semester in which the project was observed. TAPAS will provide access via web interfaces and search tools, and a Virtual Observatory facility for query and retrieval of header data. For each scan, the subset will encompass the project number, source name and position, date of observations, LST time, integration time, observing mode, and sky frequency. IRAM staff will have immediate and unrestricted access to all header data.
