The Visual and Infrared Mapping Spectrometer (VIMS) instrument
onboard the Cassini spacecraft observed the system of Saturn,
acquiring spectral cubes in the range 0.4-5.2 microns. This service
focuses on Saturn satellites, and provides access to calibrated and
ancillary data, computed as described here:
https://vims.univ-nantes.fr/info/isis-calibration. It also provides
direct links to a larger web site with previews.
Main characteristics of Solar System planets. Data are included in
the table, which includes non-standard EPN-TAP parameters. Data are
retrieved from Archinal et al 2018 (IAU report 2015,
2018CeMDA.130...22A) [radii] and Cox et al 2000 (Allen's astrophysical
quantities, 2000asqu.book.....C) [masses, heliocentric distances, and
rotation periods].
Pic du Midi de Bigorre in the French Pyrenees is the place where coronagraphic images were first realized, by Bernard Lyot in the 1930s. Since then, the solar instruments at Pic du Midi regularly provide images of the solar disc, solar prominences and solar corona.

Description:
Numerical modeling of composition and thermal balance of planetary
atmospheres requires a considerable amount of laboratory data. Among
them, the absorption cross sections in the UV range are needed both
for computing the heating in the atmosphere and the photodissociation
coefficients to initiate a rich disequilibrium chemistry. Prompted by
these needs in the community and by the sparse collection of data in
several other web pages (http://www.science-softcon.de/ or
http://satellite.mpic.de/spectral_atlas/index.html whose data depend
on some pre-processing before being ingested in these models), this
web page aims at providing the community with absorption cross
sections in the range 20 nm to 400 nm equally spaced every 0.2, 0.5
and 1.0 nm. Also, original data as appearing in the refereed journal
and the reference itself are downloadable.
The First Byurakan Survey (FBS) is the largest and the first systematic objective prism survey of the extragalactic sky. It covers 17,000 sq.deg. in the Northern sky together with a high galactic latitudes region in the Southern sky. The FBS has been carried out by B.E. Markarian, V.A. Lipovetski and J.A. Stepanian in 1965-1980 with the Byurakan Observatory 102/132/213 cm (40"/52"/84") Schmidt telescope using 1.5 deg. prism. Each FBS plate contains low-dispersion spectra of some 15,000-20,000 objects; the whole survey consists of about 20,000,000 objects.
