Abstract

A relational database management system has been implemented on the Caltech millimeter-wave array for both real-time astronomical engineering data and post-processing calibration and analysis. This system provides high storage-efficiency for the data and on-line access to data from multiple observing seasons. The ability to access easily the full database enables more accurate calibration of the raw data and greatly facilitates the calibration process. In this article we describe both the structure of the mm-array database and the implementation of a data analysis program, both of which make extensive use of Sybase, a commercial database management system with application development software. This use of relational database technology in real-time astronomical data storage and calibration may serve as a prototype for similar systems at other observatories.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
