The IUE Archive is currently maintained at the Space Telescope Science
Institute (STScI) as part of MAST, the Multi-mission Archive at STScI.
The data are stored on-line and backed up on CD.
The IUE archive contains data processed from both the IUESIPS and NEWSIPS data processing systems.
Primary access is via the web although alternatively, users may
download IUE files via ftp.
Normally web users will search the IUE database for particular files
using the
IUE search form.
The returned table of found entries will
allow the user to mark the images to be downloaded. Alternatively,
if the
camera and image numbers are already known, they can be directly entered into
the IUE data
retrieval page.
Your request for data begins a retrieval job.
The data are bundled into a tar or zip format file, and downloaded to the
disk area specified by the user in the "save as.." pop-up window. The files
are downloaded when the pop-up window disappears.
If you have problems reading the file formats, please check our
data retrieval help
page for suggested ways to read the downloaded compressed files.
If you have problems retrieving your data, you can contact the help
desk via the link at the bottom of this page.
You may also find it useful to search the IUE Proposal abstracts.
You may search for words or strings, for names of proposers and for specific iue proposals.
