OpenNGC is a database containing positions and main data of NGC (New
General Catalogue) and IC (Index Catalogue) objects. It has been built
by merging data from NED, HyperLEDA, SIMBAD, and several databases
available at HEASARC.
In this VO publication, we have changed most of the column names,
mostly to make them work as ADQL column names without resorting to
delimited identifiers. The mapping should be obvious.
Outlier Analysis in Low-Resolution Spectra: DFBS and Beyond

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
Low-resolution spectra like those resulting from objective prism
observations or the RP/BP instrument on board of the Gaia astrometry
satellite enable a wealth of interesting science. This use case
investigates one use leading up to combining many VO resources: The
identification of misclassified objects from reference databases.
Parameters of 220 million stars from Gaia BP/RP (XP) spectra
Short Name:
XP ap-pars
Date:
27 Dec 2024 08:31:01
Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
We present astrophysical parameters of 220 million stars, based on
Gaia XP spectra and near-infrared photometry from 2MASS and WISE.
Instead of using ab initio stellar models, we develop a data-driven
model of Gaia XP spectra as a function of the stellar parameters, with
a few straightforward built-in physical assumptions. This resource is
a VO re-publication of the resulting catalog of stellar parameters.

This tutorial introduces a few techniques for working with image
services in the Virtual Observatory (VO) in general, using services
containing plate scans as examples. It will discuss both exploratory,
interactive use, and scripting using pyVO.
From 1986 through 1991, the Astronomical Institute of Münster
University performed a search for flare stars in several southern
associations and open stellar clusters using the GPO telescope (d=40
cm, WFPDB identifier ESO040); the fields suveyed include Coalsack,
M42, B228 Lup, the Chameleon T1 association, omicron Vel cluster, R
CrA association, the Pipe nebula (B59 Oph), and the Sco-Oph
association. This was done primarily through multiple exposures. The
files published here are plate scans done in 2017.
The obscore collection name for these files is Muenster Flare Survey.
PPAKM31 – Optical Integral Field Spectroscopy of Star-Forming Regions
in M31
Date:

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
These observations cover five star-forming regions in the Andromeda
galaxy (M31) with optical integral field spectroscopy. Each has a
field of view of roughly 1 kpc across, at 10pc physical resolution. In
addition to the calibrated data cubes, we provide flux maps of the Hβ,
[OIII]5007, Hα, [NII]6583, [SII]6716 and [SII]6730 line emission. Line
fluxes have not been corrected for dust extinction. All data products
have associated error maps.
