VOTable is a standard exchange data model used throughout the IVOA for DAL service protocols. Gretchen Greene: A VOTable interface to the registry

The HLA footprint server uses the SIA/STC/VOTABLE protocol for describing the footprints and associated images. Using Aladin, APT and a Hubble Legacy Archive footprint server, we will demonstrate how integrating the display of observation footprints and images into the planning tool assists in the planning of a new observation. The ability to browse observation footprints is especially useful during observation planning, but the display of the footprints is typically done in a separate user interface from the planning. *Tom Donalson: HST Footprints via VOTABLE in Aladin * This presentation will focus on the improvements coming with the 1.4 release: improved graphical user interface, improved SIA/SSA parser, dynamic display of the DSS sky background and support for high resolution previews. VirGO is a plug-in for the open source software Stellarium adding capabilities for browsing professional astronomical data. Rely upon, I will demonstrate a first prototype of the portal.įinally, I will talk about future developments and links with VOįabien Chereau: New features in Stellarium/VIRGO Services and of a gateway between the different services.Īfter a detailed presentation of the architecture and the toolkit we The CDS Portal fulfills the double role of a uniform access point to CDS After briefly summarizing the developments needed to implement SAMP, I will show an IDL client interacting with Aladin through SAMP. The Aladin sky atlas is now compatible with the SAMP messaging protocol. It resolves objects using the VO, retrieves photometry from VO catalogues, allows the user to upload his/her own photometry too, uses theoretical stellar models from the VO to fit the observed data and find values for the effective temperature, gravity and metallicity, and then uses theoretical isochrones and evolutionary tracks from VO servers to estimate values for the mass and age of the VOSA (VO Sed Analyzer) is a web application developed using VO resources to fit observational data with theoretical models to infer physical properties for the observed objects.
