AAVSO Photometric All-Sky Survey (APASS), underway since 2010,
covers the entire sky from 7.5 < V < 16.5 magnitude, and in the BVugrizY
bandpasses. A northern and a southern site are used, each with twin ASA
20cm astrographs and Apogee Aspen CG16m cameras, covering 2.9x2.9 square
degrees with 2.6arcsec pixels. Landolt and SDSS standards are used for
all-sky solutions, with typical 0.02mag calibration errors on the bright
end.
Data Release 10 is a complete reprocessing of all 500K images taken with
the system, including hundreds of nights not part of DR9. Sextractor is
used for star finding and centroiding; DAOPHOT is used for aperture
photometry; the astrometry.net plate-solving library is used for basic
astrometry, supplanted with more precise WCS that utilizes knowledge of the
optical train distortions. With these changes, DR10 includes many more
stars than prior releases.

A Catalog of Galaxies in the Direction of the Perseus Cluster
Short Name:

Description:
This is a catalog of 5437 morphologically classified sources in the
direction of the Perseus galaxy cluster core, among them 496
early-type low-mass galaxy candidates. The catalog is primarily based
on V-band imaging data acquired with the William Herschel Telescope.
Additionally, we used archival Subaru multiband imaging data in order
to measure aperture colors and to perform a morphological
classification. The catalog reaches its 50 per cent completeness limit
at an absolute V-band luminosity of -12 mag and a V-band surface
brightness of 26 mag arcsec^-2 .
In addition to the published table, this service also contains cutout
images of the objects investigated.
A classifier for spurious astrometric solutions in Gaia EDR3
Short Name:
gedr3spur.main
Date:

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
This table contains estimates of the "fidelity" of Gaia eDR3
astrometric solutions, a measure of the likelihood the eDR3 solution
is physical rather than spurious obtained using a neural network
trained on a small, hand-selected sample.
This brief tutorial shows you how to quickly add proper motions and
photometry from Gaia to (almost) any object list using the Virtual
Observatory. The VO protocol most suited to this kind of this is TAP
("table access protocol") and lets you transfer data and queries to
database servers. In the example, we will be using TOPCAT as a client.
There is no lock-in to it: There are libraries and other tools
allowing an integration of TAP operations into arbitrary workflows –
that's what standards are about. Tutorial supplements apply the
techniques to Simbad, show how to use TAP from Python, and introduce
UCDs.
This course introduces advanced usage of Hierarchical Progressive
Surveys (HiPS) and Multi-Order Coverage (MOC) maps in Aladin. Using
this document, you will learn how to handle a problem like : “I have a
set of images. I would like to select regions in my observations that
are above a given threshold in another survey (e.g. at low
extinction), retrieve objects from very large catalogs (e.g. Gaia +
WISE) in these non-trivial shapes and not-necessarily-connected
regions, and combine them to visualise some quantities (e.g. color
color diagram).“
This catalogue is a simulation of the Gaia DR2 stellar content using
Galaxia (a tool to sample stars from a Besancon-like Milky Way model),
3d dust extinction maps and the latest PARSEC Isochrones. It is
mimicking the Gaia DR2 data model and an apparent magnitude limit of
g=20,7. Extinctions and photometry in different bands have also been
included in a supplementary table as well as uncertainty estimates
using a scaled nominal error model.
This tutorial shows how to use the CDS tools to gather information on
specific astronomical objects. The tutorial covers the search for
information on NGC 4039 in the CDS Portal, the search for data on NGC
4039 in Aladin, and the omparison of the coverages of Sky Surveys and
select interacting galaxies that have SDSS and GALEX data.
2007-2012 ANTARES search for cosmic neutrino point sources
Short Name:

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
A time integrated search for point sources of cosmic neutrinos was
performed using the data collected from January 2007 to November 2012
by the ANTARES neutrino telescope. This dataset includes a total of
5921 events obtained during the effective livetime of 1338 days.
2007-2010 ANTARES search for cosmic neutrino point sources
Short Name:
antares10 cone
Date:
27 Dec 2024 08:31:04
Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
A time integrated search for point sources of cosmic neutrinos was
performed using the data collected from January 2007 to November 2010
by the ANTARES neutrino telescope. This dataset includes a total of
3058 events obtained during the effective livetime of 813 days.
This is legacy data. The most recently released data can be found at
ivo://org.gavo.dc/antares/q/cone.
This is a course on the Virtual Observatory's main query language
ADQL (short for Astronomical Data Query Language), which is a SQL
dialect standardised so users do not have to learn new languages each
time they want to use a new resource. We also introduce the basic
aspects of the Table Access Protocol TAP, which transports ADQL
queries, their results as well as the metadata necessary to write
meaningful queries.
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.
