Data Requests and Transfers

We are working on a best method for distributing data to observers.

All IGRINS FITS files are 16.8MB. The average file size of a 1 night run is ~32GB, but this varies depending on your choice to automatically save all the SVC files. The spectroscopic files require ~5GB of disk space each night.

If you are at McDonald Observatory for the observing run, then we recommend you save your files on your own storage device. You can easily connect to the ICC and copy your files with a USB connection.

Otherwise, please contact Gregory Mace or Hwihyun Kim for assistance. We can accommodate web based file transfers via Dropbox, Box, Google Drive and (possibly Anonymous FTP). However, this is not the preferred method and we can not guarantee a rapid response to requests.
