Scientific paper

We present an overview of the organisation, hardware, data flows and public facilities of the UK Swift Science Data Centre. Swift is a joint US/UK/Italian mission to study gamma-ray bursts in several wavebands promptly and autonomously. Burst alert messages are distributed within seconds via the GRB Co-ordinates Network, and full observation data is publicly available within a few hours. The UK Swift Science Data Centre (http://www.swift.ac.uk) is one of three institutions that hold and disseminate Swift data. It also acts as a first point of contact and provides advice and training opportunities for UK scientists wishing to analyse Swift data. Quicklook results, archived observations and analysis software are all available from the Centre's website. The Data Centre is hosted on a loosely-coupled cluster of mutually redundant servers.
