In this tutorial you will learn about asteroids, a very interesting
and current topic in our exploration of the Solar System and of
planetary formation. You will learn about their orbital
characteristics by querying a database.
Intermediate computer skills are recommended, as the tutorial requires
the (guided) query of online electronic databases and use of
histograms.
The IMCCE is a research institute of the Paris Observatory, associated with the CNRS (UMR8028), whose work concerns mainly the dynamic and planetologic studies of the bodies of the solar system and of the terrestrial environment: planets, natural satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoroids and space debris. The IMCCE, through its VO Solar System Portal, places at the disposal of the Virtual observatory its knowledge and its expertise which concern the dynamics and the physics of the bodies of the solar system through databases, ephemeris computation services, tools of simulation, and numerical computation services fully compliant with the interoperability concept of the Virtual Observatory.
SkyBoT is a VO service which allows to seek and identify solar system objects (planet, satellites, asteroids, comets) in any field of view at a given epoch (cone-search method). It provides also a solar system object name resolver which convert the name or the designation of solar system objects into their celestial coordinates at a given epoch (resolver method). The SkyBoT service are available through a Web interface and a Web service (SOAP+WSDL+HTTP) which implements the IVOA Simple Cone-Search protocol.

SBNAF public database of thermal infrared observations of small
bodies in the solar system. Our database collects thermal emission
measurements of small Solar Systems targets that are otherwise
available in scattered sources and gives a complete description of the
data, with all information necessary to perform direct scientific
calculations and without the need to access additional, external
resources. See the details here: https://ird.konkoly.hu/
The Miriade project aims to provide a VO-compliant suite of services to compute positional and physical ephemerides of known solar system bodies as seen from any location on Earth as well as various location in space (HST, SPITZER, Gaia, etc.)
