Other Data available at the YDAC

All secondary experiment files (including calibration data, observing logs, etc.) are held on-line, updated several times per week from Japan and the US. In addition, daily images gathered from selected ground-based observatories are available. The files stored are described below, together with their (mostly) 3-letter prefixes. New products will be added as they become available, and as space permits.
