Description
The Mikulski Archive for Space Telescopes (MAST) is the primary archive for the soon-to-launch Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope. As part of that mission, a science platform known as the Roman Research Nexus (RRN) is being built to make it possible for the user community to view and analyze data at the scales Roman will produce it. As part of this effort, MAST is developing a set of tools that will allow both Roman and other MAST missions to be accessed directly from inside Jupyter notebooks on the RRN and other similar platforms.
I will describe these tools, with a particular focus on the tools to make catalog access more natural for a science user (particularly one with limited VO fleuncy), and visualization tools that smoothly transition from exposure-focused views to all-sky views. I will also describe some key principles and related lessons learned from prototypes of this work and how these prototypes and an iterative development process help yield more practically useful tools faster.
