Daiquiri

The Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam (AIP) has developed significant expertise in long-term operation and the curation of astronomical data archives.

AIP is one of the partner data centers for the ESA Gaia mission - GAIA@AIP.

The range of data archives is huge: from digitized photographic plates (APPLAUSE ) to spectroscopic and photometric data (STELLA, RAVE, the future 4MOST archive, MUSE-Wide, CARS), solar data (GREGOR, CoSee-Cat), X-ray satellite data (XMMSSC) to pure simulation data (CosmoSim).

This diversity is made possible by Daiquiri, a web-based platform developed at the institute. It supports standardized protocols from the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) for data access and is available as open-source under the Apache2 license on Github Django-Daiquiri.

This page itself is already made using Daiquiri. You can explore the different features and perform queries on a simple dataset. In addition you find all the information needed to host your own Daiquiri application for your data.
