COS Data Now Available-
Early-release observations (ERO) from COS were presented to the public today. Fully-reduced ERO data are available from the COS Instrument Development Team, and other COS observations obtained during SMOV are available from MAST. Instructions for retrieving, calibrating, and analyzing these data are provided in the first COS STAN
