The Spectral Line Search Engine (SLiSE):
SLiSE is a data display tool that will contain all the fully reduced
and calibrated archived data taken as part of this Legacy survey.
SLiSE is fast, easy to use and contains the necessary functionality
to display the data taken from spectral line searches. For example,
SLiSE contains functions to overlay possible molecule identifications
based on a current line catalog as well as overlaying H and He
recombination lines. It is a java based applet, so it is platform
independent and is easily accessed online. SLiSE will also be made
available as a standalone data product where observers can have access
to the legacy survey data but do not have to be online as well as
having the opportunity to upload their own datasets of interest to
search for possible identifications of molecular transitions.
Also, the online version does have the capability to upload your own
dataset to use the functionality that is offered for line indentification.
In summary, SLiSE will be updated quarterly as long as data are taken
during that quarter. Furthermore, both the online and standalone
versions will be updated at the same time. This is to assure the
community that they will have the most up-to-date data available.
SLiSE and this Legacy survey will be a valuable tool for the
NRAO proposal system on the GBT and possibly other instruments. SLiSE
will help in avoiding overlap with other proposals or previously
archived data in passbands already observed. Furthermore, it will
identify any contamination from known interstellar molecules or
RFI that may conflict with a new proposed observation.
To this end, we have provided some initial low resolution (390
kHz/channel) data toward SgrB2(N-LMH) and have made the data available
using the SLiSE package. Feel free to puruse that data at your
convenience. At any time, if you questions, comments, concerns,
