Pulsar VO Project Tracker

The Pulsar Virtual Observatory (VO) project is an endeavour to make publicly available the data from two large pulsar surveys done with the Parkes radio telescope: the 70-cm Southern Pulsar Survey, and the Parkes Multibeam Pulsar Survey.

Summary

There are two aspects to this project, which are detailed on the following wiki pages:

• ConversionSoftware -- software to convert data into FITS format, along with other software to examine the resulting files.
• WebQuery -- putting the data online and making it accessible through browser-based queries and VO services.

Progress

The page ToDo has a table showing what tasks need to be done, and who is responsible. See also ​Active Tickets

There is more detail on the page DetailedWorkNeeded, discussing exactly what jobs need to be done. This will be useful for the "sprint" week, where I will be devoting most of my time to finishing the project.

There is also a document that details various aspects of the implementation of the archive and the VO queries: see source:trunk/docs/VOimplementation.pdf​
