Description
This is a course on pyVO, an astropy-affiliated Python library
implementing client parts for many protocols in the Virtual
Observatory: Simple discovery protocols like SCS, SIAP, and SSAP as
well as the sophisticated Table Access Protocol TAP, which allows
users to send complex queries to remote tables and retrieve
metadata-rich results. There is also an interface to the VO Registry
to enable data and service discovery.
The course comes with many exercises, most of which also have
solutions. We hope it is suitable for both self-study and as lecture
notes in teacher-led situations.
