Keck Observatory Archive
KOA • Data Archive • Operational
Overview:
The W. M. Keck Observatory Archive (KOA) serves: level 0 (uncalibrated) and 1 observations made with both the current CCD on the High Resolution Echelle Spectrograph (HIRES) instrument, as well as the pre-upgrade (2004) single-chip data. Currently, data on approximately 2500 scientific objects are available to the public. In May 2010, data acquired with the Near InfraRed echelle SPECtrograph (NIRSPEC) were also added to the KOA archive.
The archived data extend back to 1994 for HIRES and 1999 for NIRSPEC.
Observations supporting Deep Impact and GRB051111 may be accessed from dedicated download pages, as well as through the KOA user interface.
Public access to these data is governed by the data release policy agreed to between NASA and the Keck partner institutions.
IPAC's role:
The Keck Observatory Archive (KOA) is hosted within IPAC and is a NASA-funded collaboration between the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI) and the W. M. Keck Observatory (WMKO). The KOA has inherited the archive ingest and science information system architecture used at the NASA/IPAC Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at IPAC.
