Paper Research (Abstracts)

Data & Image Archives

  • SIMBAD - Extrasolar database with measurements, bibliography, and cross-identifications.
  • NED - NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database
  • STScI Digital Sky Survey Page - Obtain images of any part of the sky. Excellent to use for "finder" images.
  • Astronomy Picture of the Day - A huge list of short articles on current astronomy developments. Goddard Space Flight Center.
  • HST Corrected Images - WFPCII Images from the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore.

Infrared

  • IRAS online directory - Many online services are offered by IPAC, including NED and IRSKY (an online IR survey tool for the entire sky). Also access 2MASS, SIRTF and more!

High Energy Astronomy

  • HEASARC - The High Energy Astrophysics Science Archive Research Center is a great reference.

Planetary Astronomy

  • Welcome to the Planets -- A great site with lots of solid information on our solar system 
  • JPL Missions - Look here for the latest updates on the current JPL missions as well as history on the older missions. 

General Knowledge

Observatories

  • NOAO internet guide - National Optical Astronomy Observatory.
  • Table Mountain Observatory - The home of the Pomona College 1-Meter Telescope is a private JPL facility that also houses 24" and a 48" reflecting telescopes.
  • Mt. Wilson Observatory - A great place to visit. Exciting things are happening here despite it's relatively low altitude.
  • Las Campanas - This observatory in the mountains of Chile is a common destination for students and faculty of Pomona.
  • Palomar & Keck Observatory - Home of the gargantuan 200" telescope. This place is well worth a visit and there is a gift shop and a daily tour. You can also access information about Keck Observatory's twin 10 Meter telescopes.

Other "internet resources" pages like this one

  • STScI astronomy internet resources guide - A very extensive listing of astronomical resources can be found here including ftp sites, wais and gopher services for astronomy.
  • Astroweb - Resources for Astronomy & Astrphysics
  • Yale Computer Science Index - For general purpose browing of web and internet resources. Has been adapted to local file for faster usage. This is however, a somewhat old listing.
