COROT (COnvection, ROtation and Transits) is a satellite launched in December 2006 with two principal objectives: the study of stellar interiors using asteroseismology techniques, and the discovery of extrasolar planets using the transit method. The Data Archive Unit of the Centro de Astrobiología (CAB) is one of the data centers from where it is possible to access COROT public data (http://sdc.cab.inta-csic.es/corotfa). In this paper the main functions of the COROT public archive at CAB are described.The archive has been developed in the framework of the Spanish Virtual Observatory following the standards defined by the International Virtual Observatories Alliance (IVOA, http://www.ivoa.net). At present it contains over ninety thousand light curves with an unprecedented photometric accuracy and time resolution. Also, the OMC (Optical Monitoring Camera, an instrument onboard the INTEGRAL satellite) archive (http://sdc.cab.inta-csic.es/omc) is in operation since 2003 and contains more than sixty thousand light curves of high photometric quality.We describe here the main functionalities of both systems.
