Center for Astrophysics Optical Infrared Science Archive. I. FAST Spectrograph
Jessica Mink, Warren R. Brown, Igor V. Chilingarian +6
We announce the public release of 141,531 moderate-dispersion optical spectra of 72,247 objects acquired over the past 25 years with the FAST Spectrograph on the Fred L. Whipple Ob…
Enabling Synergy: Improving the Information Infrastructure for Planetary Science
Michael J. Kurtz, Alberto Accomazzi, Edwin A. Henneken
In this whitepaper we advocate that the Planetary Science (PS) community build a discipline-specific digital library, in collaboration with the existing astronomy digital library,…
From Dark Energy to Exolife: Improving the Digital Information Infrastructure for Astrophysics
Michael J. Kurtz, Alberto Accomazzi
Some of the most exciting and promising areas of Astronomy research today are found at the boundaries of the discipline: the search for Exoplanets and Multi-Messenger Astronomy. In…
Fundamentals of effective cloud management for the new NASA Astrophysics Data System
Sergi Blanco-Cuaresma, Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz +11
The new NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) is designed with a serviceoriented architecture (SOA) that consists of multiple customized Apache Solr search engine instances plus a co…
Merging the Astrophysics and Planetary Science Information Systems
Michael J. Kurtz, Alberto Accomazzi, Edwin A. Henneken
Conceptually exoplanet research has one foot in the discipline of Astrophysics and the other foot in Planetary Science. Research strategies for exoplanets will require efficient ac…
New ADS Functionality for the Curator
Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz, Edwin A. Henneken +9
In this paper we provide an update concerning the operations of the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), its services and user interface, and the content currently indexed in its d…
Aggregation and Linking of Observational Metadata in the ADS
Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz, Edwin A. Henneken +5
We discuss current efforts behind the curation of observing proposals, archive bibliographies, and data links in the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS). The primary data in the AD…
ADS: The Next Generation Search Platform
Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz, Edwin A. Henneken +7
Four years after the last LISA meeting, the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) finds itself in the middle of major changes to the infrastructure and contents of its database. In t…
Reducing Systematic Error in Cluster Scale Weak Lensing
Yousuke Utsumi, Satoshi Miyazaki, Margaret J. Geller +5
Weak lensing provides an important route toward collecting samples of clusters of galaxies selected by mass. Subtle systematic errors in image reduction can compromise the power of…
A measure of total research impact independent of time and discipline
Alberto Pepe, Michael J. Kurtz
Authorship and citation practices evolve with time and differ by academic discipline. As such, indicators of research productivity based on citation records are naturally subject t…
The ADS in the Information Age - Impact on Discovery
Edwin A. Henneken, Michael J. Kurtz, Alberto Accomazzi
The SAO/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) grew up with and has been riding the waves of the Information Age, closely monitoring and anticipating the needs of its end-users. By no…
Towards a Resource-Centric Data Network for Astronomy
Alberto Accomazzi, Michael J. Kurtz, Stephen S. Murray
Over the past decade, astronomers have been using an increasingly larger number of web-based applications and archives to conduct their research. However, despite the early success…
Using Multipartite Graphs for Recommendation and Discovery
Michael J. Kurtz, Alberto Accomazzi, Edwin Henneken +2
The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System exists at the nexus of a dense system of interacting and interlinked information networks. The syntactic and the semantic content of t…
The Smithsonian/NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Decennial Report
Michael J. Kurtz, Alberto Accomazzi, Stephen S. Murray
Eight years after the ADS first appeared the last decadal survey wrote: "NASA's initiative for the Astrophysics Data System has vastly increased the accessibility of the scientific…
