In the links to CDS we have not found instructions on how to submit data cube, so we intend to submit two types of data only: -- single-point spectra -- maps of spectral line integrated intensity We then have a few questions: -- the single-point spectra must be submitted as individual FITS files? Is there a naming convention for these files? -- I guess a single ReadMe file should accompany all these FITS files? -- The same questions apply to the maps in FITS format of the integrated intensity of several spectral lines, toward several sources. Naming convention for the files, and content of the ReadMe file. -- For the maps we have an additional question. Since there is no easy way to include information about the NOISE in the maps (unless making noise maps, which would be too time-consuming at this point), we were thinking of including this info as text in the ReadMe file. Thanks. Best Regards, L.

Fermi 5 I-50125 Firenze ITALY Cc: aatables@vizir.u-strasbg.fr Our Ref. : AA/2012/18836 Author ID : 12091 Dear Dr Olmi, Your paper entitled "A spectral line survey of the starless and proto-stellar cores detected by BLAST toward the Vela-D molecular cloud" is accepted for publication in Astronomy and Astrophysics. You can now send your spectra and maps in FITS format to the CDS following the guidelines below. Best regards, A&A Editorial Office ________________________________ Guidelines for the electronic distribution of data published in A&A 1. Annotation in the paper ________________________ A footnote to the title or to the abstract should clearly indicate which material will be available in electronic form with a sentence such as "Tables n and n' are only available in electronic form at the CDS via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) or via http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/qcat?J/A+A/ 2. Preparation of the data : ____________________________ The tables are basically distributed in ASCII format; TeX/LaTeX or FITS are acceptable, the ASCII version being generated from TeX/LaTeX or FITS. Please note that the tables should keep the same numbering as in the paper. For tables published in electronic form only, remember that the tables need not be split into small pieces adapted to the paper width or height: a single table containing 50 columns is easier to manage than a set of five 10-column tables containing each a subset of the parameter space. 3. Preparation of the Introduction (ReadMe) file ______________________________________ This file should accompany the data and must be written on less than 80 character lines. It includes a short description of the tabular material with: - the reference number of the paper - the title of the paper - the author(s) - the name of the journal, year, volume and first page (to be completed by the Editors, if necessary) - the key words of the paper (taken from the A&A list) - a clear description of the tables and their columns (with notes, references...) More details, including template ReadMe files, are available from http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/submit.htx and a verification tool is directly accessible at http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/cgi-bin/Submit 4. Submission of the data : __________________________ The tables with their description have to be sent directly to the CDS by the authors upon request of the Editors at the following address : http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/submit (verifies the data and description before submission) or via anonymous ftp to cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr (130.79.128.5) into the directory incoming (on-line instructions provided). or as e-mails addressed to cats@cdsarc.u-strasbg.fr ====> Reply by Francois Ochsenbein, 02-May-2012 (Wed) 15:57:32 ========= To: Luca Olmi cc: Jorge Morales , cats Subject: Re: Fwd: AA/2012/18836: Data to CDS In-reply-to: References: <20120426105234.776E54F2BB430@mms-aanda.obspm.fr> Comments: In-reply-to Luca Olmi message dated "Wed, 02 May 2012 10:05:17 +0200." MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit ----------- (http://cdsweb.u-strasbg.fr/CDS.html) Dear Colleague, Thank you for your message; in all cases yes, a single ReadMe file is enough, hopefully :-) There are not specific details about FITS files in the instructions, this format being (in principle) well known by our community. Therefore the data cube should be OK -- provided it's standard FITS. There are several data cubes already stored at the CDS, see e.g. the list at http://vizier.u-strasbg.fr/vizier//cats/M.htx where the links point to the vizier entry (and from there a "ReadMe+ftp" link points to the ReadMe file). The bottom 2 examples relate to a single FITS data cube (J/A+A/531/A173) and to a set of 6 FITS data cubes (J/A+A/533/A17). In this last case (several FITS files), we add a small table containing the basic elements required to estimate the location and resolution in the space/wavelength domain of the data files. And about the details in the ReadMe -- anyway minimal details about the noise level _are_ useful ! I hope these short explanation can help, and that the preparation will not require too much of your time.
