Title:: Archive of AGN spectral observations
Short Name:: AGN Arch. SSAP
Date:: 06 Mar 2025 07:24:23
Publisher:: Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute
Description:: The archive of AGN spectral observations is obtained on AZT-8 telescope at the Fesenkov Astrophysical Institute (FAI), Almaty, Kazakhstan. It represents the result of observations for abot 25 years - from 1970 to 1995. All observations were carried out at AZT-8 (D = 700 mm, F[main] = 2800 mm, F[Cassegrain] = 11000 mm) with a high-power spectrograph. In 1967-68, on the basis of the image intensifier (https://doi.org/10.1080/1055679031000084795a) developed and assembled the spectrograph of the original design in the workshops of the FAI.

Title:: ARI Catalog of Catalogs
Short Name:: katkat_web
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:00
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: ARI katkat is a catalog of star catalogues in the spirit of G. Teleki's catalog of star catalogs (`1989BOBeo.140..131T`_ and references in there). It contains 2573 catalogs suitable for astrometric usage, starting with Flamsteed (1835) and ending in the 1970ies. For almost all of them, there is a column description file (as PDF, and unfortunately sometimes in German) and the digitized content. .. _1989BOBeo.140..131T: http://ads.g-vo.org/abs/1989BOBeo.140..131T

Title:: ARIGFH identified objects
Short Name:: arigfh scs
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:12
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: ARI's "Geschichte des Fixsternhimmels" is an attempt to collect all astrometrically useful observations from before ca. 1970 in a way comparable to what has been done to construct the FK* series of fundamental catalogs. About 7e6 published positions are included. In GAVO's DC, we provide tables of identified and non-identified stars together with the master catalog that objects were identified against.

Title:: HDAP -- Heidelberg Digitized Astronomical Plates
Short Name:: hdap_siap
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:03
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: Scans of plates kept at Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl. They were obtained at location, at the German-Spanish Astronomical Center (Calar Alto Observatory), Spain, and at La Silla, Chile. The plates cover a time span between 1880 and 1999. Specifically, HDAP is essentially complete for the plates taken with the Bruce telescope, the Walz reflector, and Wolf's Doppelastrograph at both the original location in Heidelberg and its later home on Königstuhl.

Title:: Historical Photographic Plate Image Archive
Short Name:: hpp_web
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:01
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: GAVO's historical photographic plate archive (GHHPA) is a collection of various digitized historical photographic plates. It currently exposes: * the scans of plates of selected Kapteyn special fields obtained at Potsdam * the Palomar-Leiden Trojan surveys, 1960-1977, * a collection of plates obtained at Boyden Station, South Africa, kept at various German observatories. Other plate collections kept by GAVO include the Heidelberg Digitized Astronomical Plates HDAP, ivo://org.gavo.dc/lswscans/res/positions/siap, and the APPLAUSE database from Potsdam.

Title:: Wide-Field Plate Database WFPDB
Short Name:: wfpdb cone
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:03
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB_) contains the descriptive information for the astronomical wide-field (>1°) photographic observations stored in numerous archives all over the world. The total number of these observations, obtained since the end of the 19th century with more then 200 instruments (telescopes) is about 2 550 000 from 509 archives. The WFPDB is continually being updated, providing currently access to the information for about 640 000 plates from 117 plate archives (30% of the estimated total number of wide-field plates) .. _WFPDB: http://www.skyarchive.org/
