Inventory Plots for all instruments and Science Levels

These are indicative plots for the contents of the SOAR as of 31 March 2025. These plots were created by this Jupyter Notebook: InventoryPlots.ipynb

These are meant for information only and in future, the inventory plots will be provided with the web interface SOAR.

In situ: EPD, MAG, RPW, SWA

Remote sensing: EUI, Metis, PHI, SoloHI, SPICE, STIX

EPD

EUI

MAG

Metis

PHI

RPW

SoloHI

SPICE

STIX

SWA

Latest data available

This python code will access the TAP database and return the latest data's date available for each instrument and level:

import pyvo as vo # Data Access (pyvo.dal)
from datetime import datetime, timedelta
import pandas as pd

instru_list = ['EPD', 'EUI', 'MAG', 'METIS', 'PHI', 'RPW', 'SOLOHI', 'SPICE', 'STIX', 'SWA']
level_list = ['L1', 'L2', 'L3']
ARCHIVE = 'https://soar.esac.esa.int/soar-sl-tap/tap'

def TAPquery(ARCHIVE, query):
    '''
    Given the ARCHIVE (e.g., https://soar.esac.esa.int/soar-sl-tap/tap) and the
    ADQL query, fetch the results and return as a DataFrame.
    '''
    try:
        ESDC = vo.dal.TAPService(ARCHIVE)
        results = ESDC.search(query)
        astropy_table = results.to_table()
        return astropy_table.to_pandas()  # convert to DataFrame
    except Exception as e:
        print(f"Error executing query: {e}")
        return None

for instr in instru_list:
    print(instr)
    for level in level_list:
        ADQL = (
            f"SELECT level, MAX(begin_time) "
            f"FROM v_sc_data_item "
            f"WHERE instrument='{instr}' AND level='{level}' "
            f"GROUP BY level"
            )

        result_table = TAPquery(ARCHIVE, ADQL)

        if result_table is not None and len(result_table) > 0:
            latest_time = result_table['MAX'].iloc[0]
            print(f"{level}: {latest_time}")
        else:
            print(f"{level}: ---")
