The EXOSAT results database.

The EXOSAT database will contain the principal results obtained from a standard analysis performed on every observation. The objective is to provide a computer accessible overview of each EXOSAT observation. A data base management system will allow manipulation of the results summary files (e.g. cross-correlating parameters). This system will be accessible by remote users via the SPAN network and will include the possibility of file transfer, both of data and programs. A preliminary version of the results summary data base has been generated. The full database system is expected to be available by the end of 1988.
