VO Workshop at the 3. Cosmology School at Kraków 2017
This VO Day will take part on
This course provides a basic introduction to the Virtual Observatory. The focus will be on access and analysis of table data, images and spectra. Participants will get to use Virtual Observatory tools like Topcat, Aladin, Cassis and ADQL in hands-on sessions.
The Workshop will be held by Jenny Sorce (CDS) and Hendrik Heinl (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.
- JAVA as one of
- Oracle JAVA - JRE will suffice our needs,
- Zulu based on OpenJDK
- TOPCAT
- Aladin
- CASSIS
You will need a laptop and an internet connection.
The goal of the workshop is that you leave with a set of skills that enables you to
- retrieve data from VO services and know how to fast access even large datasets with millions of rows/hundreds of columns
- perform queries across multiple catalogues and cross-match them
- exchange data between different VO tools
- communicate with external VO and non-VO data services
- how to use VO standards and tools and how to benefit from them
There will be time to ask questions and to bring your own use cases after the workshop and throughout the school.
