Test search of Hisaki data

11 Sep 2017

A collaboration between the APIS team and the Hisaki/EXCEED one led to develop the search interface so that it can query simultaneously both HST data from the APIS archive and Hisaki data from the JAXA archive. A test Hisaki database (made of 9 daily EXCEED observations ranging 1 to 9 Jan. 2014) is now browsable. The full Hisaki/EXCEED database should be accessible through APIS in the coming months.

Early release of Saturn’s observations coordinated with Cassini pre F-ring orbits

08 Jun 2017

Since summer 2016, observations of northern Saturn’s aurorae are obtained on a regular basis in coordination with Cassini polar passes within the auroral regions. The observations matching Cassini pre F-ring orbits are released today before the end of the HST proprietary period as an acknowledgement to the support of the Cassini project to this observational campaign :
