What's New with the ADS?
The Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is an environment for astronomers which provides a wealth of astronomical data to the scientific user community in electronic form. At present the main emphasis is on the Abstract Service, which includes access to about 210,000 abstracts which can be searched by author, object name, keyword, title, or abstract text words. In addition, we have extended the abstract service to include links to scanned images of 6000 journal articles for articles appearing in ApJL since 1975. We anticipate adding ApJ since 1975 in a few months.
In addition to the Abstract Service, the ADS provides access or pointers to astronomical data catalogs and data archives, thereby making data collected by NASA space missions available to astronomers.
