CAWSES NAOJ Solar Optical Data On-Line



1. Name of Database:  CAWSES NAOJ Solar Optical Data On-Line

2. Institution:  Solar Observatory, National Astronomical Observatory of Japan

3. Contents of Database:

The on-line database contains the following items obtained at the National Astronomical 
Observatory of Japan during the CAWSES period, by means of optical observations.
Old data obtained at the Tokyo Astronomical Observatory, University of Tokyo, are also included. 
Image data are available in gif or jpeg format, and most of them are also provided as 
FITS-format digital data.

Public Offering of Database:   URL http://solarwww.mtk.nao.ac.jp/jp/cawses.html (CAWSES period)      http://solarwww.mtk.nao.ac.jp/en/solarobs.html(data before CAWSES period) Data Policy: No restrictions apply for browsing the data. When you intend to publish an article based on these data, you are requested to contact us in advance. 7. Data in Preparation and Future Prospects: Not all the digital FITS-format files are online because of limitation in disk space. We are planning to expand the disk space. In the future, we will digitize white-light full-disk images recorded on 4X6 inch sheet film and photographic plates.
