AKARI Post-Helium mission Announcement of Opportunities for the 2nd year (Phase 3-II, Oct 2009 - Oct 2010) List of AKARI Phase 3-II Open Time Approved Programmes List of AKARI Phase 2 Open Time Approved Programmes Guidelines for publications related to AKARI
When publishing AKARI data in a journal or proceedings, you are requested to follow these guidelines. Observations log, schedule and processing status informationThe Observations Log maintained at ISAS contains information about all pointed observations performed by AKARI and those scheduled in the next four days. The Log is updated every tuesday. The log also shows the data processing status. Data retrievalEuropean Open Time users can retrieve their data from the DARTS (Data ARchive and Transmission System) repository at ISAS PLAIN Center. The data file sets are encrypted in the proprietary period of one year. One passphrase (keycode) is created per programme and confidentially communicated to each programme PI. How to retrieve (and decrypt) the pointed observations data.
