Herschel Ancillary Legacy Product Page

Introduction

This page compiles the current plans for Ancillary Legacy 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 Products considerd by each instruments

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 products.
