April , 2006 HEASARC Users Group Roger Brissenden 3 1. SAO/HEASARC Coordination HEASARC established partnership with SAO in 1999 in order to strengthen the ties between the two groups, access expertise of both groups, maximize common approaches, and allow integration of the Chandra archive Steve Murray assumed HEASARC Associate Director role Funding for ~1.25 FTE provided to support closer ties in the areas of archive standards, CalDB and software development (e.g., DS9) Partnership has been effective with coordinated extensions to archive standards, CalDB and providing direct support for DS9 development Steve Murray stepped down as HEASARC AD Feb 2004 to concentrate on new responsibilities and Roger Brissenden assumed PI role Roger’s role as HEAD AD and CXC Manager provides an opportunity for even closer ties with the CXC, and maximizes resource leverage Effort during the present 4 years focused on full Chandra archive integration, extending CalDB, support for DS9 and VO, with an opportunity to locate the Chandra archive at SAO for the long term

Feb ‘04 HUG Issues (a) Long term plan for the Chandra Archive Plan to establish the Chandra permanent archive at SAO as part of the HEASARC included in proposal to Senior Review Approach ensures data remain co-located with expertise (b) Chandra Data Archive Plans CXC data archive formats are HEASARC/OGIP FITS compatible CXC uses the CalDB format and is working actively to extend standard

Chandra Mission Status

April , 2006 HEASARC Users Group Roger Brissenden 7 4. HEASARC Activities at SAO Goals Presented to Senior Review 1.Full Chandra Data Archive (CDA) integration with the HEASARC to provide complete access to Chandra archive metadata through the multi- mission search and retrieval software. Allows for Chandra Archive at SAO/HEASARC long term. 2.Upgrade to CalDB and CalDB tools to allow more effective support for current and future missions. 3.SAOImage ds9 maintenance, ports and as resources allow, selected new functionality.
