ESASky

[Raoulklimber]

J'ai reçu ça à l'instant.

Ca a l'air d'être un outil très sympa.

 

J'ai cliqué vite fait et c'est bien fait : une carte du ciel interactive, on peut se balader, zoomer, dé-zoomer, et surtout choisir sa longueur d'onde.

 

Comme dit dans le message c'est la version accessible au public des vraies données de science des satellites de l'ESA, d'autres satellites, et d'instruments au sol.

Release of ESASky v1.0

===================

 

Dear Planck colleagues and users of the Planck Legacy Archive,

 

We are pleased to announce the roll out of the first version of

ESASky, which can be accessed at:

 

http://sky.esa.int

 

This new web service developed by ESA provides direct access to public data related to

ESA Astronomy missions from a simple web interface. It allows to visualize Planck data

together with similar high-level science-ready data products and source

catalogs from many ESA and non-ESA space observatories, as well as widely-used data from ground observatories. The data available via ESASky cover a very wide frequency spectrum, from gamma-rays to radio frequencies.

 

More detailed information about this application can be found at http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/esdc/esasky-help , and in this short demonstration video: https://youtu.be/eAfHq7s5MBQ.

Support and user help can be obtained via https://support.cosmos.esa.int/esdc/ .

 

I'd like to stress that ESASky is a tool designed to allow preliminary exploration of multiple data sets by means of a simple, intuitive visualizer. From the Planck perspective, it only gives access to a small subset of its data products. ESASky is not designed to carry out quantitative data analysis, nor to replace the Planck Legacy Archive, which remains the main interface to download Planck data - in fact, if you try to download Planck data from ESASky you will be redirected to the PLA.

 

As is to be expected in a first release, ESASky still contains some non-optimal features. An obvious example is that the outermost edges of the all-sky projection appear very jagged; and there are certainly a number of additional undesirable features. In spite of such largely cosmetic issues (which will be improved over time), ESASky is a remarkably cool way to visualize Planck data in conjunction with a wide range of other observations. And it will evolve over time to include more data and functionalities.

You are most welcome to provide any feedback on this tool to the ESASky team via the help page mentioned above.

 

Best regards,

Jan

On behalf of the PSO and the ESASky team
