The search engine for this site was designed and implemented by Terry Beck, (Advanced Computer Concepts, Inc.) using MySql; under contract with NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center, Laboratory for Astronomy and Solar Physics (LASP).

The original Search Page software was designed and implemented by our colleagues in the Applied Information Sciences Branch (Code 935) at NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center. Special thanks are due to:

* Dan Kodesh, formerly of NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center and Global Science & Technology Inc.
* Bob Cromp, formerly of Code 935, NASA/Goddard Space Flight Center

Version 4 of the CIO was created with the help of the following Computer Sciences Corporation personnel:

* Mila Airapetian
* Velma Greenlee
* Leonid Marochnik
* Denise Proctor

We made use of two invaluable resources to locate positions and verify identifications of astronomical objects: 1) Set of Identifications, Measurements and Bibliography for Astronomical Data (SIMBAD) of the Centre de Données Astronomiques de Strasbourg (CDS), 2) NASA Extragalactic Database (NED), a service of the Infrared Processing and Analysis Center (IPAC)

IRAS Point Source Catalog cross-identifications and flux data were obtained from XCATSCAN, another excellent IPAC utility
