Search and Discovery Tools for Astronomical On-line Resources and Services [PDF]

open access: yes, 2000
A growing number of astronomical resources and data or information services are made available through the Internet. However valuable information is frequently hidden in a deluge of non-pertinent or non up-to-date documents.

Topic Maps as a Virtual Observatory tool [PDF]

open access: yes, 2001
One major component of the VO will be catalogs measuring gigabytes and terrabytes if not more. Some mechanism like XML will be used for structuring the information. However, such mechanisms are not good for information retrieval on their own.

Kepler Bonus: Light Curves of Kepler Background Sources

open access: yesThe 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 ...

Information-seeking behaviour of physicists and astronomers [PDF]

open access: yes, 2008
Purpose – The study examines two aspects of information seeking behaviour of physicists and astronomers including methods applied for keeping up-to-date and methods used for finding articles. The relationship between academic status and research field of

Toward a Live Homogeneous Database of Solar Active Regions Based on SOHO/MDI and SDO/HMI Synoptic Magnetograms. I. Automatic Detection and Calibration

open access: yesThe Astrophysical Journal Supplement Series, 2023
Recent studies indicate that a small number of rogue solar active regions (ARs) may have a significant impact on the end-of-cycle polar field and the long-term behavior of solar activity.

TESS–Gaia Light Curve: A PSF-based TESS FFI Light-curve Product

open access: yesThe 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 ...

The Eclipsing Binaries from the LAMOST Medium-resolution Survey. III. A High-precision Empirical Stellar Mass Library

open access: yesThe Astronomical Journal, 2023
High-precision stellar masses and radii measured directly from binaries can effectively calibrate stellar models. However, such a database containing full spectral types and a large range of metallicity is still not fully established. A continuous effort

Automated supervised classification of variable stars I. Methodology [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
The fast classification of new variable stars is an important step in making them available for further research. Selection of science targets from large databases is much more efficient if they have been classified first.

How to Make the Dream Come True: The Astronomers' Data Manifesto [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
Astronomy is one of the most data-intensive of the sciences. Data technology is accelerating the quality and effectiveness of its research, and the rate of astronomical discovery is higher than ever. As a result, many view astronomy as being in a 'Golden
