| Abstract: |
Over the last 30 years, the SAO Telescope Data Center has reduced and
archived over 1,000,000 spectra, consisting of 287,000 spectra from five
high dispersion Echelle spectrographs and 717,000 spectra from four low
dispersion spectrographs, across three telescopes. 151,000 spectra from
six instruments are currently online and publicly available, covering
many interesting objects in the northern sky, including most of the galaxies
in the Updated Zwicky Catalog which are reachable through NED or Simbad.
A majority of the high dispersion spectra will soon be made public, as
will more data from the MMT multi-fiber spectrographs. Many objects in
the archive have multiple spectra over time, which make them a valuable
resource for archival time-domain studies. We are now developing a system
to make all of the public spectra more easily searchable and viewable
through the Virtual Observatory. |
