Dive into the world of Virtual Observatory (VO) tools and applications in this brief guide by Evanthia Hatziminaoglou from EURO-VO. Learn about the Astronomer Vocabulary and the registry akin to the Yellow Pages of the VO world. Unveil the not-so-simple Image and Spectral Access Protocols and discover the essence of MySpace for virtual space storage. Explore the powerful PLASTIC platform connecting astronomy tools. Get answers to common questions astronomers face every day, like where to find data, data formats, and content details. Uncover the universal goal of all astronomers: to discover, visualize, handle, analyze, and combine data. Witness VO Tools in action and if you're brave enough, delve into IVOA applications. For in-depth exploration, visit the EURO-VO website and software pages or the IVOA applications web page.

  1. VO tools and applications in a nutshell • Evanthia Hatziminaoglou • EURO-VO Facility Centre Astronomer

  2. Vocabulary(or “what are they talking about???”) • Registry: (a poor man’s resource) the yellow pages of the VO • SIAP (SSAP): (anything but) Simple Image (Spectra) Access Protocol • MySpace: (not mine, not yours) Virtual space storage • PLASTIC: (but cast in stone) PLatform for AStronomy Tool InterConnection

  3. Everyday questions in the life of an astronomer • Are there any data ... • Where can I find ... • What is the format ... • What are the contents ...

  4. At the end of the daywe all want the same things: ? ? • Find (Data discovery) • Look (Data visualisation & handling) • Analyse (Spectral analysis) • Combine (SED building)

  5. * the list is not exhaustive!

  6. VO Tools together in action
