A Relational Database Approach To Astronomical Research

SPIE Proceedings, 1986
A highly structured but extremely flexible database definition and interrogration system is described. This system is in daily use for reducing, archiving and evaluating data from the CCD/Transit Instrument (CTI) (McGraw et al. 1986, Cawson et al. 1986).

TilePix

Proceedings of the 6th Nordic Conference on Human-Computer Interaction: Extending Boundaries, 2010
In this paper we present TilePix, an ongoing project to design and build a visual interface to massive, astronomical, imaging databases. We focus on the motivation, design rationale and early decisions taken to design the interface. We address the problem that arises when astronomical image data is reduced to metadata by automated tools, losing much of

The CERES Astronomical Database

The CERES Astronomical Archive was created initially in order to make the large amount of data that were collected from the two surveys, the Jodrell-VLA Astrometric Survey (JVAS) and the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (CLASS), easily accessible to the partner members of the Consortium for European Research on Extragalactic Surveys (CERES) through the web ...

Preserving Monuments’ Astronomical Orientation by Using Different Databases

2012
As many studies worldwide [25], [6], [9], [17] have proven, there is a significant reason on the study of a monument. This is the actual orientation that the founders gave to the monument during its foundation. The orientation of a monument, especially a religious one, follows some strict rules according to each religion, tradition and belief.

ASTRONOMICAL ARCHIVES AND DATABASES: CURRENT TRENDS

1988
The large amount of data which is now obtainable in astronomy with modern detectors and telescopes has raised the need for data archiving systems. Several projects in this area have started in the past few years, and more are planned for the near future.
