Within this use case you recognize a physical association of stars
close in space as opposed to a superpositon created by projection
effects of stars very far one from the others. The key measure is
distance derived from parallax. With the true members of the
association (open cluster) you create a Herzsprung-Russell diagram as
in the tutorial “the stars” (ivo://edu.gavo.org/eurovo/aida_stars).
The Herzsprung-Russell diagram of stellar clusters is very important
because of the low noise of few unrelated stars.
If used in the classroom this advanced use case requires a reasonable
understanding of histograms and bidimensional scatter diagrams. It is
also rather long to perform from beginning to end.
Within this use case you discover the shapes of galaxies and their
classification according to the Hubble diagram. You are offered
sequences of galaxies with different morphologies and are asked to
order them. The morphological classification of galaxies is still in
use even if we have discovered that the Hubble diagram "per se" has no
direct physical or evolutionary meaning. Besides introducing the main
shapes of galaxies, the use case offer a demonstration of the
classification process, a fundamental tool of astronomers.
The Earth rotates around its polar axis and orbits around the Sun:
the sky above us (the celestial sphere) is in constant apparent
motion. Stellarium is the perfect tool to demonstrate the motions of
the sky, the use of coordinates and to illustrate constellations.
Stars have different colors and luminosities. Following this tutorial
we will learn what star luminosity and color are, and which
information about stellar evolution we can obtain from them.
This tutorial will show how tabular data can be easily transferred
from Topcat to Aladin or the other way, and it will illustrate the
benefits of this inter-client communication for VO users. This is
shown with a quick look at filtering members of the Coma Cluster from
SDSS.
