OGIP Staff Lists
The HEASARC Staff
Just over half of the HEASARC staff are scientists who, in addition to
their programmatic responsibilities, are expected to spend 25% of
their time on active research. This philosophy of recruiting active
hands-on scientists to support the community ensures that the services
provided are the highest quality. The HEASARC scientists propose for
and frequently win observing time on the currently active missions and
also undertake AISRP and ADP funded research. The HEASARC scientists
and their responsibilities are as follows.
Lorella Angelini (GSFC) is responsible for data
restoration, the BeppoSAX archive and
user support, XANADU software (XIMAGE and XRONOS), XCAT/WGACAT (ADP
funded) and is the Swift
and Suzaku archive scientist.
Keith Arnaud (GSFC & University of Maryland) is responsible
for XANADU software (XSPEC) and issues in X-ray
spectroscopy, the XSELECT analysis environment, and some other parts of
the FTOOLS package.
Mike Corcoran (GSFC & USRA) is the ROSAT archive scientist, is
responsible for the HEASARC Calibration Data, and
most recently has taken on the roles of archive scientist for the HETE-2 and GLAST missions.
Steve Drake (GSFC & USRA) leads the user help desk, the
database table ingest into Browse, and is
archive scientist for the
INTEGRAL,
RXTE, and
XMM-Newton missions.
Dale Graeslle (SAO) is currently ingesting the Chandra calibration data into the
HEASARC.
Jim Lochner (GSFC & USRA) leads the HEASARC Education and Public Outreach program.
Tom McGlynn (GSFC) is responsible for the archive interfaces, leads the
interdisciplinary/inter-archive access activities, including the technical
aspects of the ISAIA (AISRP) program, the SkyView program, and participates
in the Hera activity.
Roger Brissenden (SAO) is the HEASARC Associate Director, with
primary responsibility for the interface to the Chandra X-ray Center.
Bill Pence (GSFC) leads the FITS activities
including the CFITSIO
package, the FTOOLS
software package, the fv program,
and is PI on the Hera program.
Frank Marshall (GSFC) is the acting HEASARC Director
responsible for the overall activity.
The non-scientist members of the HEASARC staff based at GSFC include
programmers and data technicians. The programmers, many of whom have advanced
degrees in astronomy and physics, support the data ingest, analysis software,
and Web programming, as well as support users of the HEASARC's services.
Mike Arida (SP Systems) coordinates the HEASARC
Guest Observer Facility, and is repsonsible for the ongoing development of
WebPIMMS. He is also taking on system
administration duties.
Chris Baluta (SP Systems) is responsible for the Suzaku (Astro-E2) scheduling.
Steve Fantasia (ADNET) is the webmaster for the
HEASARC and is responsible for the Web server administration and ongoing
development of the Web-based tool WebSpec.
Craig Gordon (RSIS) is responsible for the
development and support of the
XANADU software XSPEC.
Laura MacDonald (ADNET) is responsible for the design and
development of the Browse and Skyview web sites.
Edward J. Sabol (ADNET) is the HEASARC's
database administrator and programs various Web-based applications (such as
ARK (formerly AKBAR), database applications, and client/server
software solutions (notably RPS) that support the
HEASARC's on-line services.
Karen Smale (SP Systems) is responsible for the
overall HEASARC Web design, some Web development, and much of the
HEASARC's print and Web graphics.
