  1. OV FranceFrench VO Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  2. France VO • Organizing French participation to the VO was recognized as a priority in the last strategic planning exercise (La Colle sur Loup, February 2003) • ‘Action Specifique Observatoire Virtuel France’ (France VO Specific Action) created by INSU in 2004 with support from CNES • Role • Coordinate the French participation to the IVO • Contact point for European projects • Contact point with IT Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  3. Basic philosophy • People and money for developing projects come from INSU, CNES, Programs (= sub-disciplines) and Specific Actions, laboratories • AS OV takes care of the (thin) interoperability layer • Astronomy, heliosperic/space plasma physics, planetology, astroparticles • Bottom-up approach Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  4. F-VO data-bases, services and tools • Observatory archives and value added services and tools in national/international niches linked to expertise on science topics or instruments • Role of the CNRS National Programs: evaluation of and support to specialized services • Role of laboratories: give priority and resources and maintain them on the medium term Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  5. Organisation • Run by a Scientific Council, a few experts and representatives of Programs (which deal with astronomy sub-disciplines, e.g. galaxies, interstellar medium, cosmology, …, and also numerical modelling, …) • A small amount of money, mainly travel to help collaborations and participation to IVOA meetings • Bottom-up approach, main role is to trigger the creation of a national VO community Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  6. Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  7. http://France-vo.org community tool (mostly in French) Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  8. AS OV Actions (1) • Census of data centres (2004, 2006) • 2 AOs/year • “Thematic school” 7-9 November 2005 Discussion of VO use cases/projects in different sub-disciplines • Presentations to Program meetings and SF2A Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  9. AS OV Actions (2) • Support to travel to IVOA Interoperability meetings (a solid community of participants to the IVOA standard development, well beyond the core CDS team) • Tutorials for developers • Support to travel to EuroVO Workshop Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  10. Tutorials • « VO standards and tools » for beginners Strasbourg, 11-13 October 2004 Strasbourg, 30 January-2 February 2006 Strasbourg, January 2007 • 2x20 participants, from nearly all French astronomy laboratories • Talks/practical exercises on real examples Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  11. AS OV Actions (3) • Working Groups – possible topics for DCA WGs if interest from other partners • Spectroscopic data • Theory • Workflow – use cases • GRID • Geodetics • Also interest in Fundamental data (at. And mol. Physics), VO-3D Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  12. Data Centres (1) • 40+ answers to the census • CRAL; GRAAL; IAP; IAS; IPSL/SA; O. Besançon; O. Bordeaux; O. Côte d’Azur/Cassiopée, Gemini; O. Grenoble (LAOG, LPG); OAMP/LAM; OMP/CESR, OP/GEPI, IMCCE, LERMA, LESIA, LUTH, SYRTE, O. Strasbourg • Can be used for the preliminary census, consolidation on-going (general meeting 28-30 November 2006) Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  13. Data Centres (2) • A huge diversity in themes, size and organization – is that a proper classification for DCA? • Data archives / science ready data • Added-value data bases and services • Standards and tools • Software suites • Theory • Thematic services • Questions: IRAM; other disciplines (solar and heliosperic physics?, planets – EuroPlanet N7) Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  14. Adapted from the F-VO Poster in Prague • Most Frenchastronomy laboratoriesare involved in the development of VO-oriented services and tools • Answers to the 2006 census of OV actions in France were received from all Observatories (Besançon, Bordeaux, Côte d’Azur, Lyon, Marseille-Provence, Midi–Pyrénées, Paris, Strasbourg), and GRAAL(Montpellier), IAP (Paris), IAS (Orsay) • A wide diversity of actions • Archives of observations/science-ready data • Value-added data bases and services • Tools (visualisation, image analysis, …) • Standards • Software suites • Numerical simulations/theoretical astronomy services • Thematic services • Many projects at different scales, some of them operational, some in development or in project • A new frame for ‘classical’ services such as the CDS, CDPP, MEDOC, BASS 2000, IMCCE, TERAPIX • The usage of IVOA standards ensures interoperability with services and tools from the other VO projects Data/added-value data from Nançay Radio Telescope, OHP GIRAFFE, EROS, CAI Atlases, Fabry-Perot data, VIMOS COROT, FUSE, Planck, XMM BASS 2000, MEDOC (Sun) CDPP, CIME-G (space plasma physics/ionosphere) Software suites TERAPIX and other image processing tools JMMC (interferometry) MIGALE Added-value services CDS (SIMBAD, VizieR, Aladin) IMCCE (SkyBot, ephemeris and astrometry of Solar system objects) Geodesy/Reference systems Study of Planets (BDAP, comets,…) Services and tools related to the analysis of spectral data: POLLUX, BASECOL/MOLAT (Atomic and Molecular data bases), CASSIS, DALIA, ‘Radiative transfer’ Specific services: Exoplanets, Hyperleda, Besançon double star data base, Be stars, Small bodies of the outer Solar System, CFHTLS galaxy clusters Among technical actions Participation in the definition of IVOA standards Workflow use cases ‘Intelligent resource discovery’ Image processing Usage of the computational GRID Outreach Participation to ‘Hands on Universe’ In preparation: support documents for teaching Theory/Modelling Besançon model ‘Numerical portal’ of Paris Observatory (PDR code, Titan,…) HORIZON data bases and services Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator IAU General Assemby – Prague 2006

  15. Participation to WPs (1) • In charge of WP1, WP2 • Will participate to WP 3 and WP 3-2: tutors to Workshops, technical visits • WP 4: an active community (O. Paris, O. Lyon, O. Besançon) – H. Wozniak to TEG Not only cosmology simulations, also ‘atmospheres’, MIS (F. LePetit, M.L. Dubernet, LUTH) Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator

  16. Participation to WPs (2) • WP 5: some experience with GRID MDA project- Strasbourg, OCA: workflow interacting with EGEE, GRID 5000; Lyon; Grenoble; GRID 5000 – contacts: A. Schaaff (Strasbourg), P. Valiron (Grenoble), H.Wozniak (Lyon) • WP 6: long tradition of collaborations. Not a complete list at present. Interest from Konkoly, Ireland. Ready to help using CDS knowledge and contacts. Françoise GENOVA, EuroVO-DCA Coordinator
