We are happy to announce the free availability of our database of over
150 cd-rom's.

pioneer.unm.edu is the Space and Planetary Image Facility, located on the
University of New Mexico campus.  It is supported by the Computer and
Information Resource Technology (CIRT) group on this campus, and also by the
Space and Planetary Image Facility (SPIF).
CIRT has provided the machine, diskspace, and cd-rom players.  SPIF has
provided the cd-roms and also the people maintaining the machine.

This project is still in it's infancy, so you will have to bare with us.
Right now you can only FTP into the machine and look around at what happens
to be on the cd-rom drives, and also what software that is held on the machine.
We are working on many various projects to increase the usefullness of the
machine and it's database.

Pioneer is a DECStation 5000/120 with 1.5 gigabytes of diskspace and three
CD-ROM players.  Budget cuts not withstanding, another 1.5 gigabyts of
diskspace and a few more CD-ROM players around July.

Here is the listing of the CD-ROM's that can be mounted on the players:

                       Astronomical Data Center CD-ROM

                   Selected Astronomical Catalogs, Volume I

This two-disc CD-ROM set contains a collection of 114 astronomical catalogs of
astrometry, photometry, spectroscopy, and other miscellaneous data for stellar
and nonstellar sources.  Overall documentation for the discs can be found in
the DOCUMENT directory in file ADCCDROM.DOC (or the LaTeX version ADCCDROM.TEX).


The catalogs are stored in seven discipline subdirectories as follows:

     ASTROM        16 catalogs of astrometric and positional data.
     COMBINED      7 catalogs of combined and derived data.
     CROSSID       3 catalogs of cross identifications.
     MISC          5 catalogs of miscellaneous data.
     NONSTELL      35 catalogs of nonstellar and extended objects.
     SPECTRO       25 catalogs of spectroscopic data.

See the document file for a description of the file formats and naming
conventions.  The document also contains a list of all the catalogs, their
locations on the discs and complete references.
