The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database

  • Chapter
Databases & On-line Data in Astronomy

Part of the book series: Astrophysics and Space Science Library ((ASSL,volume 171))

Abstract

The NASA/IPAC Extragalactic Database (NED) is a research tool in the form of a central archive which accumulates published data, is organized for fast, flexible retrieval, and is accessible to all astronomers. This service was designed in response to an increasing need driven by ever larger data sets collected in surveys, by the exponential growth in the volume of the technical literature, and by a greater tendency among astronomers to take a multi-spectral approach to the study of astrophysical problems.
