Introduction
The AAT/PPI (Archive Access Tool/Pipeline Processing Interface) is designed to be a replacement for the NRAO's current archive tool (https://archive.nrao.edu) that gives astronomers the ability to utilize the NRAO's processing clusters to manipulate observation data using CASA: this preliminary release provides the capability to run EVLA and ALMA observations through their respective calibration pipelines, additional capabilities will be forthcoming.
Additional features include:
- Responsive interface that works on mobile devices.
- Natural language (text based) searches of the observation's title, abstract, source names, authors and more, e.g. search on 'nova'.
- Search results displayed as an Observations View (similar to the legacy archive) or a Projects View, which aggregates observations by project and also displays the title, abstract and other assorted details missing from the Observations View.
- Display a scans report for a given execution block, including the scan intents and subscans.
- The 'my data' feature: login, press a button and see a list of your observations.
- If you link your ALMA and NRAO accounts, you can use either to access your observations.
- For ALMA and VLA you can download your SDM as a measurement set and filter by scan intent.
- For ALMA and VLA you can download a calibrated measurement set, which re-runs the calibration pipeline on your SDM.
- For VLA you can download a calibrated measurement set restored from a previously run calibration pipeline.
