Scientific paper

The Pulsar ALFA survey at 1.42GHz of the portions of the Galactic plane visible from Arecibo will continue for the next 3-5 years and is expected to discover hundreds of pulsars. The accumulated raw data will amount to 1PB, presenting a challenge in data storage, indexing, and access. This data will be archived at the Cornell Theory Center and, along with data processing products, made publicly available through a MSSQL database accessed via a web site and web services. We present a tool which uses this database and the National Virtual Observatory's SkyView service to allow for "instant follow-up" of newly discovered pulsars at other wavelengths of interest with the goal of finding pulsar jets and bowshocks. It also enables us to perform a systematic search for these features near previously known pulsars in a much faster and cost-effective manner compared to acquiring dedicated observing time at other instruments.
