The EVN archive: now officially part of the VO
| Submitter: | Mark Kettenis |
| Description: | Thanks to the EC funded ESCAPE project, JIVE is now running its own Virtual Observatory (VO) service that provides access to all the public data in the European VLBI Network (EVN) archive hosted by JIVE. This VO service provides a searchable catalog of all EVN observations that were correlated at JIVE (and a few correlated at other EVN correlator at MPIfR in Bonn). The catalog is made available through the International Virtual Observatory Alliance's (IVOA) standard Table Access Protocol (TAP) and provides search results describing the observations following the standardized IVOA ObsCore schema. The service can be accessed at http://evn-vo.jive.eu/tap but since we now also publish the service to the VO registry it can be easily found in applications such as Aladin and TOPCAT, or the PyVO Python module. The image shows the registration of our VO service and an Aladin skymap of all the targets observed by the EVN since JIVE began archiving EVN data in September 2000 for which data is publicly available. Guess where the galactic plane is in this projection! |
