Introduction: The NASA/Infrared Processing References: [1] Nielbock M. and Chini R. (2005) and Analysis Center (IPAC) Infrared Science A&A, 434, 585-592. [2] Rathborne J. M. et al. (2004) Archive (IRSA) (http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu) is A&A, 418, 563-576. [3] Thompson M. A. et al. NASA’s designated archive node for infrared and (2004) A&A, 414, 1017-1041. [4] del Burgo C. and submillimeter science data sets. This poster has two Laureijs R. J. (2005) MNRAS, 360, 901-914. [5] aims: (1) describe the datasets and services provided Ribas I. et al. (2003) A&A, 411, L501-L504. [6] by IRSA that are likely of value to attendees of Lowrance P. J. et al. (2002), ApJ, 572, L79-L81. Planets and Protostars V in studying planets, brown dwarfs and protostars ; and (2) describe recent results enabled by archive services. Data Sets: IRSA currently hosts over 60 source catalogs (over 650,000,000 sources), over 9.5 million images (12 TB) and 32,000 (15 GB) of spectra. These holdings include data from seven infrared missions that bear directly on the study of protostars and planets: 2Micron All-Sky Survey (2MASS), Satellite (IRAS), Midcourse Space Experiment (MSX), Infrared Space Observatory (ISO), Submillimeter Wave Astronomical Satellite (SWAS), and the , including the Spitzer Legacy programs Galactic Legacy Infrared Midplane Survey Extraordinaire (GLIMPSE), From Molecular Cores to Planet-Forming Disks (c2d), Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems (FEPS). User Services: Users may query all the data sets through simple web forms that can be accessed through the project web page at http://irsa.ipac.caltech.edu, and through program interfaces, including those that are compliant with National Virtual Observatory standards. Users may also interact with the data through a Java applet, the On-Line Archive Science Information Services (OASIS). The archive is developing a new set of services that permit queries across archive holdings. An archive inventory service and a Finder Chart service have already been delivered. Previous Uses: Examples of published works that have used IRSA services and are relevant to this conference are (a) studies of star formation including revised distance estimation [1], a survey for embedded protostars [2], a search for hallmarks of triggered star formation [3], and a study of the dust properties of the molecular cloud [4], and (b) studies of planet-bearing systems including the detailed analysis of primary stars [5] and searches for other companions in these systems [6].
