VO-compliant publication of Schmidt survey ESO-R of the southern sky digitized with the MAMA microdensitometer at the Observatoire de Paris Image Analysis Centre (CAI).
The second Gaia data release, Gaia DR2, encompasses astrometry, photometry, radial velocities, astrophysical parameters (stellar effective temperature, extinction, reddening, radius, and luminosity), and variability information for up to 1.6 billion stars. Gaia DR2 is based on the first 22 months of the nominal, five-year mission, processed by the Gaia Data Processing and Analysis Consortium (DPAC).
The principal research topics of the GEPI (Galaxy - Star - Physics - Instrumentation) Laboratory are the formation and evolution of stars in our Galaxy as well as in numerous other galaxies, which constitute the luminous matter (baryonic matter) component of the Universe. This research calls upon many disciplines, from chemistry to physics, from instrumentation to data-processing engineering, and from project management to financial management within an international framework.
VO-compliant publication of Schmidt survey SRC-J of the southern sky digitized with the MAMA microdensitometer at the Observatoire de Paris Image Analysis Centre (CAI).
VOPSAT is a set of southern sky digital surveys based on ESO-R, SRC-J and POSS1-E atlases. The plates have been digitized with the MAMA microdensitometer with a resolution of 0.7 arc-sec. Pixel resampling will allow mosaicing neighbouring Schmidt fields up to hundreds of square degrees.
