The SIRTF Wide-area InfraRed Extragalactic survey (SWIRE), the largest SIRTF Legacy program, is a wide-area, imaging survey to trace the evolution of dusty, star-forming galaxies, evolved stellar populations, and AGN as a function of…
We present a software package, IDA, which can easily handle two-dimensional spectroscopy data. IDA has been written in IDL and offers a window-based interface. The available tools can visualize a recovered image from spectra at any desired…
We present the IACOB spectroscopic database, the largest homogeneous database of high-resolution, high signal-to-noise ratio spectra of Northern Galactic OB-type stars compiled up to date. The spectra were obtained with the FIES…
We use the SPace Infrared telescope for Cosmology and Astrophysics (SPICA) project as a template to demonstrate how deep spectrophotometric surveys covering large cosmological volumes over extended fields (1-15 square degrees) with a mid-IR…
The recognition or understanding of the scenes observed with a SAR system requires a broader range of cues, beyond the spatial context. These encompass but are not limited to: imaging geometry, imaging mode, properties of the Fourier…
The ADS Abstract and Article Services provide access to the astronomical literature through the World Wide Web (WWW). The forms based user interface provides access to sophisticated searching capabilities that allow our users to find…
In this article I present IEAD, a new interface for astronomical science databases. It is based on a powerful, yet simple, syntax designed to completely abstract the user from the structure of the underlying database. The programming…
The increasing volume and complexity of X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) data generated at synchrotron facilities worldwide require robust infrastructure for data management, sharing, and analysis. This paper introduces the XAS Database…
Although full interoperativity between theoretical and observational data in the framework of the Virtual Observatory would be a very desirable achievement, the current status of VO offers few approaches to handle theoretical models. TSAP…
Raw data sizes are growing and proliferating in scientific research, driven by the success of data-hungry computational methods, such as machine learning. The preponderance of proprietary and shoehorned data formats make computations slower…
This paper describes the aDORe repository architecture, designed and implemented for ingesting, storing, and accessing a vast collection of Digital Objects at the Research Library of the Los Alamos National Laboratory. The aDORe…
We introduce SoFiA, a flexible software application for the detection and parameterization of sources in 3D spectral-line datasets. SoFiA combines for the first time in a single piece of software a set of new source-finding and…
We look to provide a detailed description of the SPectroscopic IDentification of ERosita Sources (SPIDERS) survey, an SDSS-IV programme aimed at obtaining spectroscopic classification and redshift measurements for complete samples of…
ARCHES (Astronomical Resource Cross-matching for High Energy Studies) is a FP7-Space funded project whose aim is to provide the international astronomical community with well-characterised multi-wavelength data in the form of spectral…
The XMM identification programme (XID) is accumulating Optical/IR images and spectra to identify thousands of XMM sources. The XID Database is the main repository of this data and permits easy selection and correlation of XMM X-ray and UV…
In the era of deep learning, annotated datasets have become a crucial asset to the remote sensing community. In the last decade, a plethora of different datasets was published, each designed for a specific data type and with a specific task…
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is the largest radio interferometer under construction in the world. The high accuracy, wide-field and large size imaging significantly challenge the construction of the Science Data Processor (SDP) of SKA.…
In this paper we provide an update concerning the operations of the NASA Astrophysics Data System (ADS), its services and user interface, and the content currently indexed in its database. As the primary information system used by…
Our presentation is aimed at data centers providing access to complex observational and theoretical data and to the users of these resources. We show how to visualize complex datasets stored in the VO enabled data archives using existing VO…
The sample of Solar system objects has dramatically increased over the last decade. The amount of measured properties (e.g., diameter, taxonomy, rotation period, thermal inertia) has grown even faster. However, this wealth of information is…
