Description
The international gamma-ray astrophysics laboratory, INTEGRAL, was launched in October 2002 and collected science data continuously for 22.2 years until March 2025. The traditional data storage and distribution archive was operated by the ISDC in Geneva throughout the mission's lifetime. The INTEGRAL Science Legacy Archive, ISLA, was beta released at the October 2024 INTEGRAL workshop, and now in its first official public version at the end of March 2025. ISLA aims to provide a new archive experience using a visual and science-based approach to the exploration of data products contained in the archive together with a direct interface that allows scientists of all backgrounds to analyze INTEGRAL data using Jupyter notebooks in the public analysis facility provided through ESA Datalabs. With ISLA we aim to both preserve this treasure of more than 22 years of high energy data gathered by INTEGRAL and to facilitate its use new generations of astronomers for decades to come.
