ESO User Portal Released to the Community

ESO is pleased to announce the arrival of a new interface connecting ESO and its users community: the ESO User Portal.

Within this system, account information (username, password, contact information) for all science and observations related web-based applications (e.g. routines for requesting data from the Archive) and standalone software (P2PP, the Phase 2 Proposal Preparation tool) is unified, and user-controllable. It is intended to make the use of ESO web applications and other software simpler, and more manageable.

Principal Investigators and registrants of the Science Archive Facility have been sent an e-mail welcoming them to the User Portal and providing them with a new, single, user-managable account. Users expecting data deliveries (pre-imaging data or archive requests) must activate their User Portal accounts before these deliveries can be made!

More details can be found in the Frequently Asked Questions page, and new users can create their User Portal accounts in the User Portal home page.
