Spectroscopic analysis in the virtual observatory environment with SPLAT-VO
Jenness, T.; Draper, P. W.; Škoda, P. +2 more
SPLAT-VO is a powerful graphical tool for displaying, comparing, modifying and analysing astronomical spectra, as well as searching and retrieving spectra from services around the world using Virtual Observatory (VO) protocols and services. The development of SPLAT-VO started in 1999, as part of the Starlink StarJava initiative, sometime before th…
Simulated measurements of 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko dust coma at 3 AU by the Rosetta GIADA instrument using the GIPSI tool
Fulle, M.; Altobelli, N.; Della Corte, V. +7 more
GIADA (Grain Impact Analyzer and Dust Accumulator) is an in situ instrument, on board the Rosetta spacecraft, designed to measure the dynamical properties of the dust grains emitted by the comet 67P/Churiumov-Gerasimenko (hereafter 67P/C-G). It consists of three subsystems able to measure the mass and speed of single dust grain and dust mass flux.…
Iris: An extensible application for building and analyzing spectral energy distributions
Pevunova, O.; Thomas, B.; D'Abrusco, R. +11 more
Iris is an extensible application that provides astronomers with a user-friendly interface capable of ingesting broad-band data from many different sources in order to build, explore, and model spectral energy distributions (SEDs). Iris takes advantage of the standards defined by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance, but hides the techni…
