Title:: GloTS, the Global TAP Schema
Date:: 06 Feb 2024 08:59:18
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: The global TAP schema collects information on tables and columns from known TAP servers. This facilitates locating queriable data by physics (via UCD) or keywords (via description). Note that this shouldn't really be necessary as all information present here should be exposed through Registry records. However, in reality data providers currently are much more liable to give column metadata in their tap_schema than in their Registry records. Hence, for the time being, we maintain this service by harvesting tap_schemas about monthly.

Title:: Harvest Trigger Service
Short Name:: harvtrig
Date:: 17 Jan 2025 13:59:52
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: Operators of publishing registries can use this service to request a re-harvest of their registry by pasting in their registry's IVOID below. If you paste in the magic value ``ivo://ivoa.net/rofr``, we will also fetch new registries from the RofR. You usually want to use this when you want to see the effect of some change in your registry on, say, TOPCAT. Note that you cannot start a full re-harvest of a registry from this interface. Contact the operators if you think you need that.

Title:: Identifying Brown Dwarf candidates in 2MASS and SDSS
Date:: 03 Apr 2025 09:45:51
Publisher:: The GAVO DC team
Description:: This tutorial is a comprehensive scientific usecase in which brown dwarf candidates in 2MASS and SDSS are identyfied. The surveys are queried using ADQL, and unncertainties in the data are solved with TOPCAT and Aladin.

Title:: Introduction to Simulation Databases - Density Fields and Dark Matter Halos
Date:: 04 Apr 2025 09:05:08
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:: 04 Apr 2025 09:05:08
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.

Title:: Planetary conjunctions
Date:: 02 Apr 2025 14:48:15
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.

Title:: Planetary motion
Date:: 02 Apr 2025 14:48:28
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.
