Preparation of detailed night schedule prior to an observing run can be tedious, especially for solar system objects which coordinates are epoch-dependent. We aim at providing the community with a Web service compliant with Virtual…

Observatories are complex scientific and technical institutions serving diverse users and purposes. Their telescopes, instruments, software, and human resources engage in interwoven workflows over a broad range of timescales. These…

In the last decade, numerous Virtual Observatory organizations were established. One of these is the German Astrophysical Virtual Observatory (GAVO) that e.g. provides access to spectral energy distributions via the service TheoSSA. In a…

In the Virtual Observatory era, where we intend to expose scientists (or software agents on their behalf) to a stream of observations from all existing facilities, the ability to access and to further interpret the origin, relationships,…

On-orbit servicing (OOS) activities will power the next big step for sustainable exploration and commercialization of space. Developing robotic capabilities for autonomous OOS operations is a priority for the space industry. Visual Servoing…

The IVOA Simple Image Access version 2 protocol defines an easy way to provide community access to a collection of data. At the Vera C. Rubin Observatory we currently enable ObsTAP access to our data holdings via an ObsCore export or view…

Despite the growing interest in innovative functionalities for collaborative robotics, volumetric detection remains indispensable for ensuring basic security. However, there is a lack of widely used volumetric detection frameworks…

The European Open Science Cloud (EOSC) is in its early stages, but already some aspects of the EOSC vision are starting to become reality, for example the EOSC portal and the development of metadata catalogues. In the astrophysical domain…

In industries such as healthcare, finance, and manufacturing, analysis of unstructured textual data presents significant challenges for analysis and decision making. Uncovering patterns within large-scale corpora and understanding their…

We present a data model describing the structure of spectrophotometric datasets with spectral and temporal coordinates and associated metadata. This data model may be used to represent spectra, time series data, segments of SED (Spectral…

The amount of data produced by large observational facilities and space missions has led to the archiving and on-line accessibility of much of this data, available to the entire astronomical community. This allows a much wider…

In the framework of the Virtual Observatory, the newly developed service TheoSSA provides access to theoretical stellar spectral-energy distributions. In a pilot phase, this service is based on the well established Tuebingen NLTE…

The Virtual Observatory (VO) is becoming the de-facto standard for astronomical data publication. However, the number of radio astronomical archives is still low in general, and even lower is the number of radio astronomical data available…

We introduce a new family of video prediction models designed to support downstream control tasks. We call these models Video Occupancy models (VOCs). VOCs operate in a compact latent space, thus avoiding the need to make predictions about…

We present, as a case study, a description of the partnership between an observatory (JCMT) and a data centre (CADC) that led to the development of the JCMT Science Archive (JSA). The JSA is a successful example of a service designed to use…

Independent of established data centers, and partly for my own research, I have been collecting the tabular data from nearly 1500 articles concerned with radio sources. Optical character recognition (OCR) was used to recover tables from…

Data warehouse store and provide access to large volume of historical data supporting the strategic decisions of organisations. Data warehouse is based on a multidimensional model which allow to express user's needs for supporting the…

Whether aimed for the study of the planetary systems, the distribution of the stars in the galaxies or the formation of the large-scale structures in the Universe, the sizes of numerical simulations are becoming increasingly important in…

The Characterisation data model is a standard of the International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) that describes observational datasets in the multi-dimensional parameter space. Defining three properties: coverage, resolution, and…

Astronomical data are gathered through a very large number of heterogeneous techniques and stored in very diversified and often incompatible data repositories. Moreover in the e-science environment, it is needed to integrate services across…
