MES-BMBF Meeting Heidelberg 2017

The Meeting will take part during 'Friday November 24th to Wednesday November 19th 2017

The first part of the workshop will give a detailed introduction into the Virtual Observatory, it's standards and processes. In the second part we will work with these standards in hands on sessions using typical VO tools like Topcat, Aladin and Splat to discover and access tabledata, images and spectra.

The VO Day will be held by Markus Demleitner and Hendrik Heinl, both GAVO/ARI.

Please install the software we will use in the course in advance. All of these require Java to be installed on your machine. If you have problems during installation, don't hesitate to contact us.

You will need a laptop and an internet connection.

The tutorials used are availbe in PDF format from http://www.g-vo.org/tutorials.
