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 you can choose to save your files on your own storage device by using rsync to transfer the files to your computer. Connecting to the ICC via USB is not an available option any longer due to the location of the ICC no longer being physically in the observing room.

At the end of the night observers should upload the IGRINS files to UT Box using the script available on the ICC. Please contact Gregory Mace or Erica Sawczynec for assistance with obtaining download links for your nights of data uploaded to UT Box.
