Title:: ARIGFH identified objects
Short Name:: arigfh scs
Date:: 06 Feb 2024 09:10:44
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: ARI's "Geschichte des Fixsternhimmels" is an attempt to collect all astrometrically useful observations from before ca. 1970 in a way comparable to what has been done to construct the FK* series of fundamental catalogs. About 7e6 published positions are included. In GAVO's DC, we provide tables of identified and non-identified stars together with the master catalog that objects were identified against.

Title:: Boyden Station ADH Plates in Germany
Short Name:: boydende.data
Date:: 21 Mar 2023 00:03:28
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: The Armagh-Dunsink-Harvard Becker-Schmidt Telescope was deployed at Boyden Station, Maselspoort South Africa between 1965 and 1970. During that time, astronomers from Bamberg, Heidelberg, Hamburg and Münster took astronomical images there, with a focus on old star clusters, the Magellanic clouds, and the southern milky way. This service provides scans of the plates obtained.

Title:: HDAP -- Heidelberg Digitized Astronomical Plates
Short Name:: hdap_siap
Date:: 31 Oct 2023 19:15:05
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: Scans of plates kept at Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl. They were obtained at location, at the German-Spanish Astronomical Center (Calar Alto Observatory), Spain, and at La Silla, Chile. The plates cover a time span between 1880 and 1999. Specifically, HDAP is essentially complete for the plates taken with the Bruce telescope, the Walz reflector, and Wolf's Doppelastrograph at both the original location in Heidelberg and its later home on Königstuhl.

Title:: Historical Photographic Plate Image Archive
Short Name:: hpp_web
Date:: 23 Mar 2022 13:13:04
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: GAVO's historical photographic plate archive (GHHPA) is a collection of various digitized historical photographic plates. It currently exposes: * the scans of plates of selected Kapteyn special fields obtained at Potsdam * the Palomar-Leiden Trojan surveys, 1960-1977, * a collection of plates obtained at Boyden Station, South Africa, kept at various German observatories. Other plate collections kept by GAVO include the Heidelberg Digitized Astronomical Plates HDAP, ivo://org.gavo.dc/lswscans/res/positions/siap, and the APPLAUSE database from Potsdam.

Title:: Potsdam Kapteyn Series Plates
Short Name:: kapteyn.plates
Date:: 01 Dec 2022 00:50:28
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: In the context of Kapteyn's plan to obtain a photometric standard, in Potsdam more than 400 photographic plates of several Selected Areas, Special Areas, and Kapteyn-Pritchard areas were obtained between 1910 and 1933, both as direct images and with an object prism. This service provides FITS images of the science area of the plates as well as images of the entire plates, including previous markings.

Title:: Wide-Field Plate Database WFPDB
Short Name:: wfpdb cone
Date:: 03 Nov 2022 09:37:29
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: The Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB_) contains the descriptive information for the astronomical wide-field (>1°) photographic observations stored in numerous archives all over the world. The total number of these observations, obtained since the end of the 19th century with more then 200 instruments (telescopes) is about 2 550 000 from 509 archives. The WFPDB is continually being updated, providing currently access to the information for about 640 000 plates from 117 plate archives (30% of the estimated total number of wide-field plates) .. _WFPDB: http://www.skyarchive.org/
