Scientific paper

The Chandra Transmission Grating Data Archive and Catalog (TGCat) provides easy access to analysis-ready high-resolution X-ray spectra. The web interface makes it easy to find observations of a particular object, type of object, or type of observation, and to quickly assess the quality and potential usefulness of the spectra from pre-computed summary plots. An interacitve plotter provides the ability to visualize spectra possibly combined over multiple observations) in a variety of flux units against a choice of wavelength or energy axes; any plot so created can be downloaded as an ASCII table. For detailed analysis, the data files themselves can be retrieved. The query results themselves can be saved as ASCII or Virtual Observatory tables. Portable reprocessing scripts used to create the archive and which use the CXC's and other publicly available software are also available. Support for this work was provided by NASA through SAO contract SV3-73016 to MIT for support of the Chandra X-ray Center.
