Abstract

drms: A Python package for accessing HMI and AIA data

Highlights

  • The metadata and pointers to the image data are stored in a PostgreSQL database and managed by the Data Record Management System (DRMS)

  • Drms is a SunPy-affiliated (SunPy Community et al, 2015) Python package for accessing data hosted by Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC)

  • A vast majority of these data come from the Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI) and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA) instruments, but JSOC hosts data from the Michelson Doppler Imager (MDI; Scherrer et al, 1995) aboard the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO) spacecraft and data from the Interface Region Imaging Spectrometer (IRIS; De Pontieu et al, 2014)

Summary

Introduction

The data from two of its instruments, Helioseismic and Magnetic Imager (HMI; Schou et al, 2012) and Atmospheric Imaging Assembly (AIA; Lemen et al, 2012), are stored and distributed by the Joint Science Operations Center (JSOC) at Stanford University. The metadata and pointers to the image data are stored in a PostgreSQL database and managed by the Data Record Management System (DRMS). The data and metadata can be accessed using the JSOC website.
