ATCA Data Archive Requests

Note!

Data from the ATCA Data Archive is available on line.

This is the preferred way for people to access archive data.

All data taken with the AT Compact Array has been archived. This data becomes public domain eighteen months after the project that the data was taken for has completed its observing. See Data Access Policies for more information.

CDs will still be available for people who are unable to use the on-line archive for what ever reason. Please email at_archive@atnf.csiro.au for CD copies of archive data. ATCA data archive data requests must satisfy the ATNF data access policy. Additionally they must list the names of the data files required. File names can be determined from the form at the end of this page.

For well-specified and valid data requests, which require the loading of no more than 3 CDs from the archive, the ATNF will normally generate and send copies of the data to the requesting astronomer within a week. Requests requiring the loading of up to 10 CDs will be normally be satisfied in under a month. Where more than 10 CDs would need to be loaded, the requesting astronomer would normally be expected to directly assist in the copying from the archive.

Requests from the original observing team (e.g. for the replacement of lost data) will be dealt with at a lower priority to other requests.

Helpful web sites to allow you to describe your data can be found at:
