CTAO Data Explorer#

Version: 1.0.0rc4

A web platform to search, visualize, and analyze high‑energy (gamma‑ray) astrophysics data, built with a React frontend and a FastAPI backend.

  • Search by sky position and/or observation time (TT/UTC/MJD/MET)

  • Explore results on an interactive sky map, timeline, and energy range charts

  • Sign in with CTAO IAM for saved queries, baskets, and job tracking

  • Curate selections into baskets, then launch Preview jobs via OPUS (UWS) for quick‑look analysis


Quick Start#

The recommended local development environment uses a local Kubernetes cluster — see Development Environment Setup.

Legacy setups directly on host are documented in Legacy setups (reference only).

For a tour of the UI, see the User Guide.
