Archive Access to ALFALFA Data Products

Modalities (up for discussion) for the discovery and filtering of ALFALFA data sets in the Archive.

  1. Any primary project that has an associated ALFALFA "product" (a set of cubes, catalog entry, or spectrum) should show the ALFALFA results as a related product in the project view.  
    • This should be displayed in a similar manner to any Images or other SRDP related products, but clearly show that it is an ALFALFA product.
  2. In the observation view ALFALFA  data cube sets are displayed and filtered with the other EBs stored in the archive.
    •  A column showing that they belong to the ALFALFA collection should be optionally displayed 
    • The user should be able to suppress display of members of the ALFALFA (or any other) collection.
    • No reprocessing capabilities (e.g. optimized imaging) should be provided for data cubes from the ALFALFA collection (the project is COMPLETEDCOMPLETE).
  3. A dedicated "ALFALFA" view of the archive, that enables searches on the ALFALFA specific meta-data columns.
    • A cone search of the RA and Dec fields (as described in the above catalog description) should be supported.
    • Searching on ranges of heliocentric redshift (in the above table) should could be supported.
    • The ALFALFA view should also provide links to the ALFALFA project, and publications explaining the processing and data products (ALFALFA publications).
