Title:: Introduction to Simulation Databases - Density Fields and Dark Matter Halos
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:06
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: This tutorial was created for a physics teacher workshop (~ high school level). It shows how to extract density fields and information on dark matter halos from the CosmoSim database using SQL queries. It is optimized for brevity.

Title:: Introduction to Simulation Databases Using CosmoSim
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:03
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: This tutorial shows how to do first SQL-queries on cosmological databases, including retrieving mass functions, extracting merger trees or particles of a specific dark matter halo.

Title:: Multi-instrument, multi-wavelength study of high energy sources with the Virtual Observatory
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:04
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: This tutorial demonstrates how to use several standard tools of the Virtual Observatory (VO) for data mining and multiple waveband data analysis. The step-by-step application below focuses on towards applications in the gamma-ray and high energy domain, but also involves observational data from other wavebands.

Title:: Outlier Analysis in Low-Resolution Spectra: DFBS and Beyond
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:06
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.

ID:: ivo://edu.gavo.org/eurovo/aida_conjunctions
Title:: Planetary conjunctions
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:06
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: 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.

ID:: ivo://edu.gavo.org/eurovo/ice_planetary_motion
Title:: Planetary motion
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:00
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: 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.

ID:: ivo://edu.gavo.org/hd/gavo_plates
Title:: Plate Scans in the VO
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:02
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: 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.

Title:: Proper motion of the Barnard's star
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:13
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: Within this case you learn that stars that seem "fixed" on the sky may actually move, even if their motion is so slow for the naked eye to be undetectable. You compare two photographs of the Barnard's Star taken several years apart and will be able to estimate its displacement on the sky. Your estimate will be very close to actual measurements.

Title:: RAVE Radial Velocities with TOPCAT and Aladin
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:01
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: Create an all-sky map of RAVE stars using TOPCAT or Aladin. Also shows how to draw proper motion vectors with TOPCAT.

ID:: ivo://edu.gavo.org/eurovo/cosadie_star_clusters
Title:: Star clusters
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:13
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: Within this use case you learn about the difference between intrinsic linear size and apparent angular size, a difference that is frequently at the center of astronomical problems. Star clusters are the objects used to illustrate this difference. You also learn some basic facts about star clusters, whose distribution in space has helped us to understand the structure of our Milky Way. Thanks to Aladin, you will be able to explore their distribution on the sky on your own.
