Summary
GalexView was a search interface that provided access to GALEX data products. Searching for GALEX observations via spatial cone searches was a primary use case, but the interface also allowed for selection based on GALEX-specific metadata like survey type. Catalog sources were also available to run cone searches on, and were displayed on top of the GALEX images. Products could be selected for download using a checkout cart.
Retirement
GalexView was written in Flash, and was retired in December of 2020 in advance of Adobe blocking Flash from running on the web on 12 January 2021.
Suggested Alternatives
Users are suggested to use the MAST Portal cross-mission search interace for querying and retrieving GALEX products.
