We are pleased to announce new capabilities for research teams in the Optical Data Centre!
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class=""><br class="">
</span></div>
<div class=""><span style="font-family: Helvetica;" class="">The Optical Data Centre (ODC) is a collaboration between AAO-Macquarie University, Australian National University and NCI. It is funded under the Astronomy National Collaborative Research Infrastructure
Strategy (NCRIS) Program via Astronomy Australia Ltd (AAL).</span><br class="">
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Along with holding and serving optical and infrared data, the Optical Data Centre (powered by Data Central), also supports research teams to carry out their surveys and research projects. Our new capabilities include:</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">
<ul class="MailOutline">
<li class="">Easy to setup and manage mailing lists on the <a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/A8zECnx1jniYLX1Ah9fkGk?domain=datacentral.org.au" class="">
datacentral.org.au</a> domain</li><li class="">A research team-based instant messaging service powered by Zulip, similar to Slack, but free for astronomical research teams!</li><li class="">Collaborative editing of Word documents and Excel spreadsheets held in the Data Central Cloud (<a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/DQ07CoV1kpf0GD1jCzrF-m?domain=cloud.datacentral.org.au" class="">https://cloud.datacentral.org.au</a>)</li><li class="">Hosting of custom web applications that need to access ODC-held data</li></ul>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
</div>
<div class="">Please request a Research Team through our Teams portal: <a href="https://protect-au.mimecast.com/s/7bEkCp81lrtBL9J1CYv5Qn?domain=teams.datacentral.org.au/" class="">
https://teams.datacentral.org.au/request-team/</a> and specify which services you would like to use. For existing teams, please email
<a href="mailto:teams@datacentral.org.au" class="">teams@datacentral.org.au</a> to request a new service.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">We also have some new data services in the pipeline, including an IVOA-compliant Simple Spectrum Access service. This will be release in a few weeks, and we are developing example scripts to get the most out of them. To whet your appetite, we
include some of the output of these scripts below.</div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Finally, we are always happy to accept your data! If you have data you’d like to share with the world, please contact us at
