Scientific paper

We discuss potential advantages and disadvantages of selective availability of astronomical data. Selective availability would enable prompt dissemination of data to the community at large by maintaining the proprietary nature of only selective characteristics of the data to only a select set of persons. For the purpose of illustration, we present a simplistic example of an algorithm that modifies a two-dimensional image such that it corrupts stellar photometry of specific (bright) stars while preserving other characteristics such as stellar astrometry. We advocate that the astronomical community already could benefit from selective availability, and we suggest that the need will increase in time as ever- larger volumes of data are collected but not disseminated in a timely fashion for lack of appropriate algorithms to create selective availability.
