The Wide-Field Plate Database: A New Tool in Observational Astronomy [PDF]
Since the first applications of wide-field photography in astronomy nearly 2 million plates and films have been obtained and stored in archives all over the world. The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) provides astronomers with detailed information about the wide-field photographic observations.

Kepler Bonus: Light Curves of Kepler Background Sources
NASA’s Kepler primary mission observed about 116 deg ^2 in the sky for 3.5 consecutive years to discover Earth-like exoplanets. This mission recorded pixel cutouts, known as target pixel files (TPFs), of over 200,000 targets that were selected to ...

The Gamma-Ray Astronomy Database: 1990-2002 [PDF]
I review five missions (SIGMA/GRANAT, the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, BeppoSAX, the Interplanetary Network, and the High Energy Transient Explorer) which have contributed to a golden age of discovery in gamma-ray astronomy. The data from many of these missions and experiments have been archived and are available to the public to analyze.

Predicting membrane protein localization by deep learning on structure and chemistry. [PDF]
Abstract It has been known since at least the 1980's that the structure and chemistry of membranes and membrane proteins are matched. Exploiting this fact, a graph neural network model of proteins was trained on experimentally determined membrane protein structures to predict the native membrane environment of transmembrane domains from their structure.
