From: starrfie@hydro.la.asu.edu (Sumner Starrfield) Subject: World Wide Web service at CDS, Strasbourg Date: Fri, 17 Dec 93 13:07:18 MST Bonjour ! The CDS (Centre de Donnes astronomiques de Strasbourg, France) is opening a new World Wide Web service. The CDS is a data center dedicated to the collection and worldwide distribution of astronomical data. It is located at the Observatoire de Strasbourg, France. The CDS hosts the SIMBAD astronomical database, the world reference database for the identification of astronomical objects. This WWW service gives access to documents and files related to the SIMBAD astronomical database, the TOPBase of the Opacity project, the Star*s Family of directories, etc. It also includes a new feature allowing to select astronomical catalogues by keyword or author's name, among the library of more than 600 catalogues currently available (for a total of about 3 Gigabytes of observational data), and to actually retrieve the corresponding files. The URL address is : http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/CDS.html There is also a specific home page for the SIMBAD database: http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/Simbad.html Best wishes Daniel Egret (CDS) egret@simbad.u-strasbg.fr
