VO-compliant publication of the properties of the 3838 galaxies that were monitored for SNe events, including newly determined morphologies and their DENIS and POSS-II/UKST I, 2MASS and DENIS J and Ks and 2MASS H magnitudes.
The principal research topics of the GEPI (Galaxy - Star - Physics - Instrumentation) Laboratory are the formation and evolution of stars in our Galaxy as well as in numerous other galaxies, which constitute the luminous matter (baryonic matter) component of the Universe. This research calls upon many disciplines, from chemistry to physics, from instrumentation to data-processing engineering, and from project management to financial management within an international framework.
H.E.S.S. is a system of Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes that investigates cosmic gamma rays in the 100 GeV to 100 TeV energy range. The name H.E.S.S. stands for High Energy Stereoscopic System.
The IMCCE is a research institute of the Paris Observatory, associated with the CNRS (UMR8028), whose work concerns mainly the dynamic and planetologic studies of the bodies of the solar system and of the terrestrial environment: planets, natural satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoroids and space debris. The IMCCE, through its VO Solar System Portal, places at the disposal of the Virtual observatory its knowledge and its expertise which concern the dynamics and the physics of the bodies of the solar system through databases, ephemeris computation services, tools of simulation, and numerical computation services fully compliant with the interoperability concept of the Virtual Observatory.
An IVOA Identifier is a globally unique name for a resource within the Virtual
Observatory. This name can be used to retrieve a unique description of the
resource from an IVOA-compliant registry or to identify an entity like a
dataset or a protocol without dereferencing the identifier. This document
describes the syntax for IVOA Identifiers as well as how they are created. The
syntax has been defined to encourage global-uniqueness naturally and to
maximize the freedom of resource providers to control the character content of
an identifier.
Registries provide a mechanism with which VO applications can discover and
select resources - first and foremost data and services - that are relevant for
a particular scientific problem. This specification defines an interface for
searching this resource metadata based on the IVOA's TAP protocol. It specifies
a set of tables that comprise a useful subset of the information contained in
the registry records, as well as the table's data content in terms of the XML
VOResource data model. The general design of the system is geared towards
allowing easy authoring of queries.
