Discovery of optically faint obscured quasars with Virtual Observatory tools [PDF]
We use Virtual Observatory (VO) tools to identify optically faint, obscured (i.e., type 2) active galactic nuclei (AGN) in the two Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS) fields.

Topic Maps as a Virtual Observatory tool [PDF]
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.

A search for new hot subdwarf stars by means of Virtual Observatory tools [PDF]
Hot subdwarf stars are faint, blue objects, and are the main contributors to the far-UV excess observed in elliptical galaxies. They offer an excellent laboratory to study close and wide binary systems, and to scrutinize their interiors through ...

Multiband Study of Radio Sources of the RCR Catalogue with Virtual Observatory Tools
We present early results of our multiband study of the RATAN Cold Revised (RCR) catalogue obtained from seven cycles of the “Cold” survey carried with the RATAN-600 radio telescope at 7.6 cm in 1980-1999, at the declination of the SS 433 source.

Safeguarding Old and New Journal Tables for the VO: Status for Extragalactic and Radio Data
Independent of established data centers, and partly for my own research, since 1989 I have been collecting the tabular data from over 2600 articles concerned with radio sources and extragalactic objects in general. Optical character recognition (OCR) was

Clusterix 2.0: a virtual observatory tool to estimate cluster membership probability [PDF]
ABSTRACT Clusterix 2.0 is a web-based, Virtual Observatory compliant, interactive tool for the determination of membership probabilities in stellar clusters based on proper-motion data using a fully non-parametric method. In an area occupied by a cluster, the frequency function is made up of two contributions: cluster and field stars ...
