  1. WP5service activities for higher education and outreach Massimo Ramella (INAF-OATs) Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

  2. AIDA WP5 Objectives Provide tools for access to VO data for higher education students, for middle school teachers and students, and for amateur astronomers Provide some basic information on the main classes of objects available to our public within the Euro VO database. Offer to students a glimpse of the professional world of astronomers without the burden of a too steep learning curve. Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

  3. The work plan Phase A Requirements and choice of outreach interfaces Production and/or modification of existing software Translation of outreach interfaces Basic documentation with some examples Phase B Identify testers and design appealing projects for them Test Interface Gather, translate and organize feed-back for interface revisions Phase C Produce documents (userguide, primer, examples, basic script library ...) Produce basic outreach content for interface and dedicated web-site Distribute and promote the use of our outreach products Cycle 1 (students main target, WP5 persons present in class) Test Interface Cycle 2 (main goal: teachers self-sufficiency) Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

  4. WP5 STATUS SOFTWARE: ONLY FEW MINOR REVISIONS USE CASES: LIBRARY OK AND GROWING (10 AVAILABLE) TRANSLATIONS: PROGRESS, BUT MORE WORK NEEDED WEBSITE: READY Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

  5. WP5 DIFFUSION VO-Day in tour WP5 Web Site workshops,conferences,other initiatives Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

  6. V = 1500 km/s sn in M47 angle = 2.7’ Observed year 2000 Exploded year 1054

  7. R 2,7’ D

  8. time between observation and explosion: • 2000 – 1054 = 946 years = 30 billions sec • after 1000yrs the SNR has the radius: • radius = speed’ x time from explosion • R = 1500 x 30 109 km = 4.5 1013 km • distance of the supernova: • D = R / angle (radians) = 2 kpc • D = 6500 light years
