Herschel Ancillary Data Product Page

Introduction

This page compiles the current plans for Ancillary Data Products to be delivered as part of the Herschel Explanatory Legacy Library (HELL). Ancillary Products are data (products, tables, plots. etc) generated in the course of the Herschel (pre-launched and in-orbit) mission that are not necessarily linked to an obsid, but that shall be preserved for legacy.

Ancillary Data Products considered by each instrument

The following tables summarises information I gathered either in emails (esp. for PACS) or presentations (from the handover meetings of HIFI and SPIRE). When applicable I also provide links to (mostly twiki) pages illustrating the products meant to be preserved. It does not guarantee, however, that all contemplated items will eventually be kept as Ancillary Data Products.

Ancillary Data Products considerd for the Observatory

This is the list of ADPs contemplated for the Observatory - these deliverables will be curated by Mark Kidger. Some of these items cover requests listed n the instrument table above.
