- analysis and browsing through web interface (and JAVA!)
- HESSI data, Phoenix-2 data and other (?)
Analysis
- light curves, spectroscopy, image reconstruction
- computed and storable on HEDC server
Browsing
- analyses, quick-looks, extended catalog (ex: 2" reconstructions (all collimators 128x128, clean); movies)
- high level events (HLE) (ex: min. count rate in a given energy range)
- telemetry files ( ex : date)
Synoptic Database
- ground-based & space data search engine
HEDC special features
- will generate its own catalog and quick-looks (solar AND non-solar)
- can run several background processes
- all analyses storable on HEDC, available as fits
- useful for low bandwidth Web connection, and/or low computing capability
- powerful browsing tool
