Meteor Databases in Astronomy [PDF]
Proceedings of the International Astronomical Union, 2016 AbstractThere are specific problems of databases in meteor science such as making meteor databases into the modern research tools. Special institutes and virtual observatories exist for the meteor data storage where the data is online and in open access.

Kepler Bonus: Light Curves of Kepler Background Sources
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 NASA’s Kepler primary mission observed about 116 deg ^2 in the sky for 3.5 consecutive years to discover Earth-like exoplanets. This mission recorded pixel cutouts, known as target pixel files (TPFs), of over 200,000 targets that were selected to ...

A Grid-Based Distributed Database Solution for Large Astronomy Datasets [PDF]
2008 International Conference on Computer Science and Software Engineering, 2008 The volume of digital astronomical data is set to expand dramatically over the next ten years, as new satellites, telescopes and instruments come online. For example, both the VISTA and DES programmes will yield databases 20-30 terabytes in size in the coming decade.

The Wide-Field Plate Database: A New Tool in Observational Astronomy [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 1997 Since the first applications of wide-field photography in astronomy nearly 2 million plates and films have been obtained and stored in archives all over the world. The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) provides astronomers with detailed information about the wide-field photographic observations.

The Gamma-Ray Astronomy Database: 1990-2002 [PDF]
Symposium - International Astronomical Union, 2003 I review five missions (SIGMA/GRANAT, the Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, BeppoSAX, the Interplanetary Network, and the High Energy Transient Explorer) which have contributed to a golden age of discovery in gamma-ray astronomy. The data from many of these missions and experiments have been archived and are available to the public to analyze.

TESS–Gaia Light Curve: A PSF-based TESS FFI Light-curve Product
The Astronomical Journal, 2023 The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) is continuing its second extended mission after 55 sectors of observations. TESS publishes full-frame images (FFIs) at a cadence of 1800, 600, or 200 s, allowing light curves to be extracted for stars ...

Hypercat : A Database for extragalactic astronomy
, 1999 The Hypercat Database is developed at Observatoire de Lyon and is distributed on the WEB through different mirrors in Europe. The goal of Hypercat is to gather data necessary for studying the evolution of galaxies (dynamics and stellar contains) and particularly for providing a z=0 reference for these studies.
