Real Time Satellite Tracking for HST.

On-The-Fly Reprocessing

Using Starview Starview is a search option that can support queries that need to sample parts of the cataloged metadata other than that found on the web pages such as calibration files or instrument specific settings. Starview is a Java application that can be downloaded from http://starview.stsci.edu/html/. Click on the Help menu in the upper right corner and select Start Help Browser for more help. If you wish to use the aperture overlay functionality download the Astronomer's Proposal Tool (APT) and use the StarView bundled with it. Some online help can be found at: http://starview.stsci.edu/html/HowTos and http://starview.stsci.edu/javahelp/FAQ/StarViewFAQ.htm StarView has a problem returning large (e.g. thousands) of records. There is a problem database connection from Java that occasionally hangs the query. StarView can also run out of allocated memory for very large returns as well. Because of these limitations Starview is probably best used in a support role to examine information held in tables that are not accessible from the web interfaces. StarView also has an interface to the pointings table.

The default is 100 rows, but the limit can be increased to a maximum of 1500 rows.

question

I had some observations made recently, but I haven't yet received a tape... As of August 1, 2000, we are no longer generating tapes for proposals. If you wish to have a hard copy of your data, please submit a retrieval request as you normally would, and use the CD or DVD retrieval option.

Starview Java-based StarView 7 Released Developed in Java, StarView version 7 provides an easy to use, highly capable user interface that runs on any Java enabled platform as a standalone application. You can download and install it. It requires Java 1.2 or higher to run, but it is recommended that users download StarView 7 with the optional Java 1.3 included. (Note Java 1.3 is up to 30% faster!) The old StarView 5.4a and 6 have been discontinued. All x-windows and crt-versions are no longer functional. Users will need to switch to StarView. Does StarView run on platform X? StarView7 needs a system that has a Java 2 Runtime Engine. You will need to make sure that you have a version of Java that is 1.2 compliant. See download and install links for more information. Can I install the StarView7 software on my machine? Yes. StarView7 is available from the web. Can I get the source code for earlier versions of StarView and compile it on my machine? Please use the current StarView . How do I run StarView? You can install StarView7 and run it from your home site. I need to run StarView on archive.stsci.edu. Why can I not login with my archive user id and password? The Archive guest account was been discontinued. Users should either: Install StarView7 on their home sites Use the Web tools for searching the catalog and retrieving data If neither of these options meet your needs, please contact us at archive@stsci.edu. When I try to start StarView5.4, it crashes immediately. What is wrong? StarView 5.4 is now obsolete. Please install the current StarView .

Web

How do I find observations of an object by name?

Starview, for each instrument, there is a calibration screen that will show you what files the dataset was calibrated with, and which files you should use if you are recalibrating. Each of these screens has special buttons to mark the used or recommended calibration files for retrieval.

In addition to HST data, MAST also provides support for VLA First, IUE, Copernicus, and EUVE data. Data from the FUSE, Astro-1 and Astro-2 missions for the UIT, HUT, and WUPPE instruments will be added in the future.
