相关论文: Recommendations of the VAO-Science Council

The VAO (Virtual Astronomical Observatory) Science Council (VAO-SC) met on July 27-28, 2011 at the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics in Cambridge MA, to review the VAO performance during its first year of operations. In this…

This is the triennial report of IAU Commission 27, mostly presenting a review of recent advances in the field.

Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the fields of stars and stellar evolution. Community-based White Paper to Astro2010 in response to the call for such papers.

This document describes the minimum interface that a (SOAP- or REST-based) web service requires to participate in the IVOA. Note that this is not required of standard VO services developed prior to this specification, although uptake is…

Brief summaries are given on the following subjects: Radial velocities and exoplanets (Toward Earth-mass planets; Retired A stars and their planets; Current status and prospects); Toward higher radial velocity precision; Radial velocities…

This document describes the types of official IVOA documents and the process by which documents are advanced from Working Drafts to formal Recommendations.

The U.S. Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO; http://www.us-vao.org/) has been in operation since May 2010. Its goal is to enable new science through efficient integration of distributed multi-wavelength data. This paper describes the…

Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the fields of planetary systems and star formation. Community-based White Paper to Astro2010 in response to the call for such…

Science opportunities and recommendations concerning optical/infrared polarimetry for the upcoming decade in the field of Galactic science. Community-based White Paper to Astro2010 in response to the call for such papers.

This document describes the scientific requirements for the SED builder and analysis tool that will be designed and built by the US Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO). VAO is the VO effort based in the US, whose primary emphasis is to…

Brief outline of Science Operations Centre activities for Gaia.

The International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) held its bi-annual Interoperability Meetings in May 2019, and in October 2019 following the ADASS XXIX conference. We provide a brief report on the status of the IVOA and the activities…

The International Virtual Observatory Alliance (IVOA) held its bi-annual Interoperability Meeting over two and half days prior to the ADASS 2018 conference. We provide a brief report on the status of the IVOA and the activities of the…

The National Academy of Science Astronomy and Astrophysics Survey Committee, in its new Decadal survey entitled Astronomy and Astrophysics in the New Millennium, recommends, as a first priority, the establishment of a National Virtual…

This document specifies a standard format for vocabularies based on the W3C's Resource Description Framework (RDF) and Simple Knowledge Organization System (SKOS). By adopting a standard and simple format, the IVOA will permit different…

Brief summaries are given of the following subjects of interest to IAU Commission 30: Large-scale radial-velocity surveys; The role of radial-velocity measurements in studies of stellar angular momentum evolution and stellar age; Radial…

A (personal) experimental summary of the Hard Probes 2010 conference is presented.

This is the product of a Gaia GREAT workshop on "Gaia and the end states of stellar evolution" held at the University of Leicester in April 2011.

Virtual Institute of Astroparticle Physics (VIA), integrated in the structure of Laboratory of AstroParticle physics and Cosmology (APC) is evolved in a unique multi-functional complex of $e-science$ and $e-learning$, supporting at distance…

The article collects arguments for the necessity of a global academic internet platform, which is organized as a kind of ``global scientific parliament''. With such a constitution educational and research institutions will have direct means…
