Abstract | Solar observations at Kodaikanal observatory over the last 100+ years provide one of the longest
continuous series of solar data. Apart from that, simultaneous observations in different wavelengths
make this data a unique one and suitable for multi-wavelength studies. The historical data which were
on photographic plates has been digitized. The preservation and distribution of such data sources
through the datacenter hosted at IIA, Bangalore to the global scientific community have initiated a new
platform for innovative and best practices for dissemination of this historical and heritage resources. In
my presentation I will demonstrate how this data archive is producing new science results. |
