Sharing Catalogs

After all this data entering, make sure you check your catalogs for correctness and save them (with the icon menu or FILE - SAVE ALL). It is important that your positions and velocities are correct before creating scans in the OPT, and before storing to disk or sharing your catalogs with your collaborators. Exporting (and importing) in XML format is the same as for the RCT catalogs in Chapter 2. Next to XML, for the SCT the PST format should allow you to read (and write) the same file as you used to submit your source list to the PST (but currently you will have to supply your velocity reference and definition in the SCT). The latter is as yet not thoroughly robust, but should obviously be very useful for long lists.

The NSF National Radio Astronomy Observatory and NSF Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NSF NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NSF NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NSF NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NSF NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.
