NOAO Legacy Data

	Save-the-Bits (STB): Since mid-1993 KPNO and CTIO (starting in 1995) routinely copied and stored most data from CCD's and infrared arrays at all their nighttime telescopes. These data are available by special permission from the Director.
	The NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey is a deep optical and near-infrared wide-field imaging survey that will sample the sky in two 9 square degree fields.
	NSO Digital Library  Most recent solar images Archive query tool  Data Archives (anonymous FTP access)
	GONG Data Storage and Distribution System (DSDS): The GONG Data Storage and Distribution System has been developed to store and catalog the data products produced by the GONG pipeline, and to provide the GONG scientific community with tools to access the catalog of data products, to submit a request for these data products, and to distribute data files to those requesting them. Access to these tools is provided through a user's account on a UNIX workstation serving as the GONG Users' Machine. The GONG Data Policy requires that access to data be through this account, obtained by submitting both a membership form and scientific program description form to the Project.
	Thorium-Argon Spectral Atlas This atlas consists of one long data file covering the wavelength region from 3,005 Å to 10,598 Å. Most of the data (3,262 Å - 10,598 Å) was extracted from a series of echelle spectra obtained with the Kitt Peak National Observatory 2.1m coudé spectrograph in echelle/grism mode at a resolution (lambda/dlambda) of approximately 75,000. A line list is also available with identifications from Palmer and Engleman (1983) for Th and from Norlén (1973) for Ar.

Additionally, miscellaneous catalogs are available in the various FTP archives at NOAO.

• CTIO logs of photographic plates obtained with the Blanco 4-m telescope.

• KPNO logs of photographic plates obtained Mayall 4-m telescope.

• High Resolution Atlas of Arcturus Spectra: Digital versions of the high resolution Arcturus Atlases by Hinkle, Wallace, Livingston, Valenti, and Harmer. The atlases are available in printed form from ASP.

• A Library of Medium Resolution Infrared Stellar Spectra: Spectra of MK standard stars covering the J, H, K, and L bands. The spectra have been corrected for telluric absorption and are at a resolution of 3000. The spectra are from five papers by (variously) Wallace, Hinkle, Meyer, Edwards, and Strom.

• Coudé Feed Spectral Library: Contains spectra of 684 stars observed with the Coudé Feed telescope and spectrograph at KPNO. The spectra cover the ranges 3820 - 4500 Å and 4780 - 5460 Å at a resolution of 1.8 Å FWHM (~60 km/sec). The spectra were described by Leitherer, C. et al. 1996 PASP, 108, 996.

• A Library of Stellar Spectra: FITS images of the spectral catalog published by G. H. Jacoby, D. A Hunter, and C. A. Christian in ApJ Supp. 56, 257.

• The Optical Spectrophotmetric Atlas of Supernova 1987A in the LMC, II. CCD Observations from Day 198 to 805 (Phillips, M. M. et al. 1990, A. J., 99, 1133) are available by FTP. This data archive consists of CCD spectra of SN 1987A obtained with the CTIO 1.5 m and 4.0 m telescopes.
