DARTS (http://darts.jaxa.jp/) is a scientific data archive system which provides data of scientific satellites launched by JAXA, and is developed and maintained by Center for Science-satellite Operation and Data Archive (C-SODA) in ISAS/JAXA. We have developed a web interface with search function to provide 2 dimensional image data (all-sky map) obtained from all sky survey observation of infrared astronomy satellite “AKARI”. The all-sky map is composed of many image files which are arranged like as tiles to cover whole celestial sphere and each image occupies a region about several square degrees. This search function is intended to return all image files in the region designated by a user, if they are overlapped with the region. To realize such a search, we adopt a method that each image is divided into a large number of small rectangular areas and then the center of each area is represented by an orthogonal coordinate system to register in the database. This method has the advantages that other external libraries to divide the celestial area such as HEALPix are not needed, and that both celestial poles is not treated as a singular point, and that high-speed search for arbitrary coordinate system can be obtained. To reduce the costs of development and maintenance, we apply the mechanism of AKARI catalogue search to this search function using PHP and PostgreSQL.
