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 is a catalogue of photometric redshifts of galaxies in the
Stripe 82 obtained when morphology (galaxy size, ellipticity, Sérsic
index, and surface brightness) are included in training on galaxy
samples from the SDSS and the CFHT Stripe-82 Survey (CS82). Our
redshifts yield a 68th percentile error of 0.058(1 + z), and a outlier
fraction of 5.2 per cent.
This dataset comprises the public data observed by the Pierre Auger
cosmic ray observatory, which is 1% of its total data. It contains
28493 events between 0.1 and 49.7 EeV collected between 2004 and 2013.
The Pierre Auger Open Data is the public release of 10% of the Pierre
Auger Observatory cosmic-ray data published in recent scientific
papers and at International conferences. The Pierre Auger Observatory,
located on a vast, high-altitude plain in the Province of Mendoza in
Argentina, is the world's largest cosmic ray observatory and measures
the extensive air-showers produced by cosmic rays above ~1e17 eV.
Here, we include data from the two surface detector (SD) setups, SD750
and SD1500, as well as the flourescence detectors (FD). For both of
these, we also host the full json event descriptors. In addition there
is a table of highly inclined events and the scaler readouts. See also

Within this use case you learn about motion of the planets both
around the Sun and in the sky, planetary conjunctions and what might
have been the Star of Bethlehem.
Within this use case you learn about Kepler's laws, a cornerstone of
astronomy and a fundamental brick of both Newton's and Einstein's
theories of gravitation. This use case is complemented by use cases 10
and 16 (at different levels of difficulty.
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.
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.
