The new GPIPS website portal provides community users with an intuitive and powerful interface to query the data products of the Galactic Plane Infrared Polarization Survey. The website, which was built using PHP for the front end and MySQL for the database back end, allows users to issue queries based on galactic or equatorial coordinates, GPIPS-specific identifiers, polarization information, magnitude information, and several other attributes. The returns are presented in HTML tables, with the added option of either downloading or being emailed an ASCII file including the same or more information from the database. Other functionalities of the website include providing details of the status of the Survey (which fields have been observed or are planned to be observed), techniques involved in data collection and analysis, and descriptions of the database contents and names. For this initial launch of the website, users may access the GPIPS polarization point source catalog and the deep coadd photometric point source catalog. Future planned developments include a graphics-based method for querying the database, as well as tools to combine neighboring GPIPS images into larger image files for both polarimetry and photometry.
This work is partially supported by NSF grant AST-0607500.
