The SAO Telescope Data Center is dedicated to supporting the scheduling and execution of astronomical observations using various optical telescopes affiliated with the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics, including those on Mount Hopkins in Arizona and the Magellan Telescopes in Chile. They specialize in recording, archiving, and analyzing data, focusing on critical aspects such as redshift measurements for galaxies and radial velocities for stars.
In addition to data management, the center develops software to assist scientists in preparing for their observation runs, managing instruments, and processing data into usable formats. Their resources include comprehensive documentation on locally developed software and access to archived data from various astronomical surveys.
