Astrometry with Virtual Observatories

Astrophysics and Space Science, 2004
With the advent of virtual observatories, most astrometry-oriented projects being currently developed—and those to come in the near future—will be greatly enriched. Among these projects it is worth mentioning double stars and multiple systems, proper-motion detections, identification of lost high-proper-motion stars, a detailed census of open cluster ...

Towards the Virtual Observatory

2002
The Mosaic browser was released in early 1993, and fundamentally changed the way that, first, science, and later almost all other areas of social activity, are carried out. The drivers for the web, as is well-known, were scientific activities related to high energy physics — particularly Berners-Lee who developed the http protocol at CERN; and high ...

Using the Virtual Observatory

This is a course on using the Virtual Observatory (VO), an international research data infrastructure in Astronomy and Astrophysics. Starting with a brief discussion of some general concepts, it introduces some of the major client programs like TOPCAT and Aladin, together with some simple discovery protocols.

Downloading the sky [virtual observatory

IEEE Spectrum, 2004
An international collaboration of astronomers and computer scientists is piecing together the means to connect all stored data collected over the last several decades by hundreds of ground-based and orbiting observatories in thousands of archives. Their efforts will create the world's biggest and best telescope, known as the Virtual Observatory.

Sky Surveys and Virtual Observatories

2011
Astronomers have always catalogued the objects they observe and study. In ancient times, the Greek astronomer Hipparchos (between 161 and 127 BC) and the Chinese astronomers Shi Shen and Gan De (in the Warring States period, around 500 BC) built up the first systematic catalogues of the celestial regions accessible from their parts of the world.

AstroGrid and the Virtual Observatory

2009
This chapter gives a brief introduction to the Virtual Observatory (VO). It looks in some detail at the UK’s AstroGrid Virtual Observatory implementation, showing, via a range of science examples, how the “Virtual Observatory” can be of use to astronomers for a wide variety of data discovery and analysis tasks.

Virtual Observatory in Astrophysics

2014
In astrophysics, data preservation is really important, mainly because objects are far far away and that an observational project (satellite, telescopes) is very expensive, time consuming and very difficult to redo when it is over. Nevertheless Many projects have been undertaken and more and more data are available to the scientific community.
