A Grid-Based Distributed Database Solution for Large Astronomy Datasets [PDF]

open access: yes2008 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 use of astronomical databases to perform practical work in the process of teaching astronomy

Physics Education, 2023
Abstract The process of learning astronomy should include such a component as the search for astronomical information, as well as provide conditions under which each student will be able to turn such information into his/her knowledge. That is why an important component of a modern lesson should be the students’ purposeful mastery of the

The Gamma-Ray Astronomy Database: 1990-2002 [PDF]

open access: yesSymposium - 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 The data from many of these missions and experiments have been archived and are available to the public to analyze.

PDSPTF: Polystore Database System for Scalability and Access to PTF Time-Domain Astronomy Data Archives

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2019
Recent developments in time-domain astronomy use a large amount of data for gaining domain-specific information. The ever increasing data size and different data models require the development of new ideas to manage such data. The data type varies from the images of astronomical bodies, unstructured texts and structured (relations and key-values ...

Astronomy From Large Databases: Scientific Objectives and Methodological Approaches

SIGMOD Record, 1988
The role of databases is increasing continually in astronomy. So too is the need for applicable analysis methods to use on large collections of data. The need, for example, for suitable statistical tools and for experimentation in knowledge based approaches are both related to the growing quantities of astronomical data. The latter areas, and of course

Development of a Planisphere Type Astronomy Education Web System Based on a Constellation Database Using Ajax

Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2006
In this study, we build a knowledge database that consists of topics planetarium curators have about astronomy and the stars. We suggest that the database should have a structure based on constellations and that mirrors the basic way in which humans perceive the night sky. Furthermore, we developed a web system for astronomy education using Ajax.

Large Databases in Astronomy

2006
The next-generation astronomy digital archives will cover most of the sky at fine resolution in many wavelengths, from X-rays through ultraviolet, op- tical, and infrared. The archives will be stored at diverse geographical locations. The intensive use of advanced data archives will enable astronomers to explore their data interactively.

Databases: Between old and new astronomy

Vistas in Astronomy, 1993
Abstract The transmission of astronomical data and knowledge from one field to others and from one generation to the next obeys rules which have been only slightly altered during centuries: observations are hopefully stored in observatory files not far from the instruments. Results based on these observations are usually brought to the attention of a

The Concept of a Multi-Functional Astronomy Complex and Dynamically Integrated Database Applied to Multi-Channel Observations With the MASTER Global Network

Astronomy Reports, 2019
The concept of a multi-functional astronomical complex as applied to robotic astronomy networks and systems is formulated. The practical realization of this concept in the MASTER global network of robotic telescopes of Moscow State University is described. The dynamically integrated MASTER database, which transforms a network of robotic telescopes into
