| Abstract: |
The NASA/IPAC Infrared Archive (IRSA) “Cutouts” Service (http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/Cutouts) is a general tool for creating small “cutout” FITS images and JPEGs from collections of data archived at IRSA. This service is a companion to IRSA's Atlas tool (http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu/applications/Atlas/), which currently serves over 25 different data collections of various sizes and complexity and returns entire images for a user-defined region of the sky. The Cutouts Services sits on top of Atlas and extends the Atlas functionality by generating subimages at locations and sizes requested by the user from images already identified by Atlas. These results can be downloaded individually, in batch mode (using the program wget), or as a tar file. Cutouts re-uses IRSA's software architecture along with the publicly available Montage mosaicking tools. The advantages and disadvantages of this approach to generic cutout serving will be discussed. |
