Scientific paper

The ASDC SED Builder (http://tools.asdc.asi.it/SED/) is a web based program developed at the ASI Science Data Center to produce and display the Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) of astrophysical sources. The tool combines data from several missions and experiments, both ground and space-based, together with catalogs and archival data. In the current version (v1.3) the obtained SEDs can be compared with theoretical expectations and with the sensitivity curve of several widely known instruments. The displayed data can also be fitted to simple analytical functions. Providing a cosmological redshift, the SED can be visualized in rest-frame luminosities. The tool provides transparent access to ASDC-resident catalogs (e.g. Swift, AGILE, Fermi etc.) as well as to external archives (e.g. NED, 2MASS, SDSS etc.) covering the whole electromagnetic spectrum, from radio to TeV energies. Proprietary data can also be properly handled. The intent of this document is to provide a brief description of the main capabilities of the ASDC SED Builder. Specific details on the graphical interface and on the functionalities can be found in the appendix to this document which provides a tutorial to the tool.
