If you have used CADC facilities for your research, please include the following acknowledgment:

This research used the facilities of the Canadian Astronomy Data Centre operated by the National Research Council of Canada with the support of the Canadian Space Agency.

This page gives you access to the Canadian version of the Hubble Space Telescope Archive, the complete listing of all observations obtained with the Hubble Space Telescope. The Hubble Archive project is a collaboration between the NRC's Canadian Astronomy Data Centre (CADC), Victoria and the The Space Telescope European coordinating Facility, ST-ECF, Munich and the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) in Baltimore.

The CADC Hubble Space Telescope Archive has several access points::

The NEW HST/HLA Science Observations. Based on work by Rick White(STScI) and Felix Stoehr (ST-ECF)

The HST/HLA Science Observations (Please note: without the WFPC2B associations).

The WFPC2B associations. (Will migrate to the new interface soon)

An explanation of the HST Pipeline used at CADC to produced calibrated data is available.

The Archive Data Retrieval facility allows users to request and receive archive data . Users don't have to register anymore because:

  1. We are now caching all HST files. The calibration is occuring in the background continously.
  2. We have changed the way to get data. An applet tool will allow you to download directly the data on your local host.

Users should enable Java and Javascript in their web browsers to experience all of the features of the HST Science Archive. We make use of the Centre de Données de Strasbourg's (CDS) Aladin Java applet for previews so you will also receive a security warning when you first launch a preview. Previews are also available in png/jpg format for faster access.

To begin an HST archive search, select one of the queries in the Queries menu above. In many cases you will want to start a search of the Science Catalogue.

The Documentation menu provides information to get you started if you are confused by the query forms. Click on Form Help for more detailed instructions on making efficient use of the query form. In most cases descriptions of each field in a form can also be retrieved by clicking on the field's link.
