  1. SVO: The Spanish Virtual Observatoryhttp://svo.laeff.inta.es Enrique Solano, LAEFF / SVO • Partner’s VO Project  Census of Spanish Data Centres • Partner areas of interest among the WP / Collaboration • Elements for WP6 (tomorrow).

  2. SVO in IVOA • Member of IVOA since June 2004.

  3. SVO funded by the Spanish Ministry of Research and Education • VO identified as one of the priority lines. • Aim: Coordination of the activities of the Spanish institutes in the VO framework. Contact-point for the international VO-projects • Funded from Jan05 to Jan09 • 7 FTEs from 6 institutes. LAEFF: 4 FTEs. (“SVO core”).

  4. Astronomical archives: take-up of VO standards.

  5. VO applications and analysis tools • Automatic classification of light curves • Similar tools are being developed for the COROT and GAIA projects.

  6. VO applications and analysis tools • VOSED: a Spectral Energy distribution builder and model fitting.

  7. Theory in the VO • Theoretical model web server + TSAP

  8. Other SVO funded initiatives: ASTRID-CM • Title: “Development and exploitation of astronomical instrumentation”. • Project approved by the Regional Government (“Comunidad de Madrid”). • 632500 €. Funded from Jan 2006 to Jan 2010. • 1 FTE (postdoc) for VO activities.

  9. DAMA: a service to get all the information already available about the potential DARWIN candidates following a VO methodology. ASTRID-CM: VO Services • DAMA: a preparatory tool for the DARWIN mission • Darwin will search for Earth-like planets around other stars. • A careful target selection of potential candidates is a critical issue.

  10. ASTRID-CM: VO Science • From Class 0 to Class III:Search and classification.

  11. ASTRID-CM: VO Science • Multiwavelength studies of star-forming galaxies.

  12. Other SVO funded initiatives: CONSOLIDER - GTC • Title: “First Science with GTC” • Project of excellence approved by the Spanish Ministry of Education and Research. • 5 500 000 €. Funded from Nov 2006 to Nov 2011. • 2 FTE (postdoc) for VO activities. (probably) • VO compliance of the GTC archive • Data analysis/mining tools for the key science projects.

  13. The SVO Thematic Network • More than 70 researches from 19 institutes. • Comprising all the Spanish groups with interest in VO.

  14. SVO Thematic Network: VO Radio Archives (IAA)

  15. SVO Thematic Network: VO compliance of catalogues • Libraries of observed FGKM-type stars (UCM).

  16. SVO Thematic Network: VO compliance of catalogues • The AMIGA catalogue (IAA). • An exhaustive multiwavelenght study of a complete sample of ~1000 isolated galaxies.

  17. SVO Thematic Network: VO Services • PVOL: A management system of planetary images (UPV)

  18. SVO Thematic Network: Theory (IAA) • PVOL: A management system of planetary images

  19. Spectra SVO Thematic Network: Data Mining • A management Automated classification of stellar spectra using A.I techniques (U. Coruña) BD Preprocessing Classification Expert systems RNAs Clustering

  20. SVO Thematic Network: VO Science • Characterization of the population of the σ Orionis cluster. (IAC)

  21. SVO Thematic Network: VO Science • Discovery of ultracool (T-type) brown dwarfs. (IAC+LAEFF)

  22. SVO: The Spanish Virtual Observatoryhttp://svo.laeff.inta.es Enrique Solano, LAEFF / SVO • Partner’s VO Project  Census of Spanish Data Centres • Partner areas of interest among the WP. Collaboration • Elements for WP6 (tomorrow).

  23. SVO areas of interest among the EuroVO-DCA WPs • WP3: “Support to take-up and implementation of the VO framework”.  Close relation to WP6 • WP4: “Theory in the VO” IAA, LAEFF • WP5: “Coordination with computational grid projects” • IAA leads an e-Science proposal in Andalusia • CESCA (Supercomputing Centre of Catalonia): high expertise in GRID & computational resources.
