Title:: The Collinder 69 open cluster
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:12
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.

Title:: The GAVO VO Puzzlers
Date:: 03 Apr 2025 09:45:51
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.

Title:: The HI shells of the Small Magellanic Cloud
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:12
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.

Title:: TOPCAT/STILTS Advanced Tutorial
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:03
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: This tutorial is a dense course through the advanced functions of TOPCAT and STILTS. It covers detailed information of how to use TOPCAT and STILTS to find data in the VO, access them, perform crossmatches and how to do visualisations.

Title:: Using the Virtual Observatory
Short Name:: GAVO vo course
Date:: 03 Apr 2025 09:49:31
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: This is a course on using the Virtual Observatory (VO), an international research data infrastructure in Astronomy and Astrophysics. Starting with a brief discussion of some general concepts, it introduces some of the major client programs like TOPCAT and Aladin, together with some simple discovery protocols. A first focus topic is the query language ADQL, which is treated within the equivalent of three lectures. The second major focus of the course is the premier Python interface to the VO, pyVO, which is used to also more deeply investigate the topics treated before. The course is complemented by a number of side tracks, brief discussions of more fundamental or more specialised VO topics. The course comes with many exercises, most of which also have solutions. We hope it is suitable for both self-study and as lecture notes in teacher-led situations. In the latter case, it is designed to work as a semester-long course with two hours of lectures and lab work each per week.

Title:: VOTT: VO Text Treasures
Short Name:: VOTT
Date:: 27 Dec 2024 08:31:05
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: VOTT is a formatted list of educational/outreach texts on using the VO: use cases, tutorials, courses, and such. VOTT contains material for all settings, from pre-school to graduate. It is generated from the documents known to the VO Registry.
