# **TRACS**: Telescope Reference and Astronomy Categorization Shared task

## **Brief Dataset Description and Purpose**
We provide a dataset of scientific papers from the [NASA Science eXplorer](https://scixplorer.org/) annotated with their associated telescope, categorization, and metadata.  
This dataset is provided for participants to [**TRACS @ WASP 2025**](https://ui.adsabs.harvard.edu/WIESP/2025/#tracs-shared-task). See link for additional information about the challenge and the dataset.  

This dataset was created with the collaboration of: 
- Jenny Novacescu, Chief Librarian at the STSCi who helped with the data from the HST and JWST
- Erin Scott, Astrophysicist from the CfA who provided the CHANDRA data
- Anjali Pandiri, of Florida State University who helped curate the data
