SDAC Home Page

Welcome to the Solar Data Analysis Center at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland USA.


Current Solar Images

Click here for the latest ground- and space-based solar images in the SDAC archives.

Click here to download GIF or PostScript representations of these images via anonymous ftp.


SERTS-95 sounding rocket flight

The NASA Goddard Space Flight Center Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics Solar Extreme ultraviolet Rocket Telescope and Spectrograph (SERTS) is scheduled to be launched on 15 May, 1995, at 1800 UT. More information is available on the objectives, instrumentation, and collaborative observations for SERTS-95.


HRTS IX sounding rocket flight

The Naval Research Laboratory High-Resolution Telescope and Spectrograph is scheduled to be launched, with a new spectrograph configuration, in April, 1995. Click here for anonymous ftp access to the latest update, which can be found in a file with a name of the form rocketnnn.txt.


New: High Energy Solar Imager (HESI)

Read the report of the HESI Science Study Group, including recommendations for a strawman scientific payload.


Solar Connections

NASA's Space Physics Division is ``embarking on a new voyage of discovery and exploration to characterize our space environment,'' the Solar Connections program.


The Yohkoh Archive

The public Yohkoh archive at the SDAC now runs from Yohkoh launch (1991 September) to 1994 April 2.

Data

Data requested via e-mail to yohkoh_sdac@solar.stanford.edu or gurman@sdac.gsfc.nasa.gov can be found here via anonymous ftp.

Daily SXT full-field images in FITS format, starting with 1993 January 1, can be accessed here via anonymous ftp.

Yohkoh SXT movies from the daily FITS format images are now available directly via the Web.

Documentation

New users can now find an introduction to the analysis of Yohkoh data.

Thanks to Andy Phillips, Pam Spence, and Rob Bentley of the Yohkoh Archive Centre at MSSL (UK), current versions of the Yohkoh Analysis Guide (YAG) are available both in hypertext form, as

and via anonymous ftp in PostScript format.

New: Ever wonder what an anaglyph of two solar soft X-ray images looks like? Via anonymous ftp, you can retrieve a GIF file of such an image, and read a plain text description of it, courtesy of David Batchelor of the NASA GSFC Space Physics Data Facility. ....but you'll have to supply your own 3-D glasses.


Eclipses

The SDAC is now serving NASA Eclipse bulletins via both WWW and anonymous ftp. Currently, the bulletins for the total solar eclipses of 1994 November 3 and 1995 October 24 are online.

SOHO

The Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) WWW pages have finally found a more appropriate home.

Access the SOHO anonymous ftp directories.


HRTS UV Solar Atlas

Through the generosity of Dr. Pål Brekke of the University of Oslo, the High Resolution Spectrograph and Telescope (HRTS) ultraviolet solar atlas is now available on the Web. Click here for more information.


SolarNews

The SolarNews electronic newsletter of the American Astronomical Society Solar Physics Division, is available online here.


BATSE Solar Flare Catalog

Click here for a description of the Compton GRO BATSE solar flare database in the SDAC archives, including online access to the catalog. You can get a PostScript light curve for any flare by clicking on its entry in the catalog.
