  1. A Magellan Data Archive Andrew Szentgyorgyi Magellan SAC Meeting Pasadena/18 Mar 2012

  2. Context • All data taken with CfA instruments in Arizona is immediately mirrored to archive in Cambridge • Data stored in perpetuity • Would be possible with high speed data link to Magellan • Data access control is strong, only PI’s, archivists and instrument PI’s can access data • Email is sent informing PI data has been taken and how to access it • Is extremely useful to PI’s – data is never lost • Is extremely useful to instrument teams – trending, problem solving, &c. • However, not truly an archive except for specific CfA projects • Warren Brown is now TDC* Director *TDC = Telescope data center

  3. Questions for SAC • Should we mirror & store Magellan f/5 data for entire consortium? • Is there interest in evolving data storage to archive? • What would that archive look like? • What is possible with limited resources? • Should data remain proprietary forever? • If data becomes public after proprietary period, what metadata must we generate to make the data useful? • Are other consortium members willing to participate in developing an archive? • What sorts of pipelines would we envision developing? • How strong is community interest in receiving processed data?
