The EUVE Permanent Archive at HEASARC and MAST
Abstract
We present an overview of the EUVE permanent archive data, which is available from the High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center (HEASARC; http://heasarc.gsfc.nasa.gov/) and accessible through the Multi Mission Archive at Space Telescope Science Institute (MAST; http://archive.stsci.edu/mast.html). The EUVE permanent archive data contains two main data products: 2-dimensional FITS image files of the Deep Survey and spectrometer instruments, and event files for these instruments that include information for temporal analysis. Both archive sites have web retrieval and search pages that allow researchers to search the EUVE holdings by several parameters, including object name, object class, or coordinates. Selected data is easily down-loaded via the web. HEASARC also provides an anonymous ftp option. Both archives include EUVE mission information, data analysis documentation and software, and links to all-sky survey data products. MAST currently has EUVE 1-dimensional quick-look spectra for most EUVE sources, an option to display FITS headers, and/or to down-load spectra in ASCII or FITS formats. Support for MAST for non-HST data is provided by the NASA Office of Space Science via grant NAG5-7584 and by other grants and contracts.
