Title:
The Collinder 69 open cluster
Date:

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
The tutorial uses VOSA to analyse members of the Collinder 69 open cluster by crossmatching a given local set of objects and accesses VO services to crossmatch the objects with 2MASS to receive colors. The resulting SEDs are analysed using different fit functions.
33. The Constellations of the Zodiac

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
Within this use case you learn about the constellations of the Zodiac, i.e. those crossed by the apparent path of the Sun during the year. Together with some characteristics the orbital motion of the Earth, in this use case you also find a short excursion into history of astronomy. The use case also introduces the precession of the equinoxes.

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
Within this use case you discover the shape and thickness of the disc of our own Galaxy by counting stars within and around the Milky Way. With the use of both Aladin and Stellarium you draw the line corresponding to the disc of the Milky Way in a coordinate diagram.

Title:
The GAVO VO Puzzlers
Date:
27 Dec 2024 08:31:00
Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
The GAVO puzzlers are little training problems solvable by standard VO techniques (data discovery, SIAP, Cone Search, TAP). They assume some familiarity with common astronomical concepts (they were originally given out during meetings of the German Astronomische Gesellschaft) but are designed to be solvable using common, standard tools and in reasonable time. Solutions are also given.

Publisher:
The GAVO DC team
Description:
This tutorial employs the Aladin VO client to explore neutral hydrogen shells around the SMC; it demonstrates using image servers, catalog servers, and advanced overplotting within Aladin.
