In particular, we search for redshift information of galaxies in the spatial vicinity of the cluster centre. To get this information we get catalogues with measured redshifts and a spectrum, from which we measure a redshift. It uses the Simple Spectral Access (SSA) protocol of the virtual observatory.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://cds-astro.github.io/tutorials/4_High_Energy_sources__Multi_instrument_multi_wavelength_exploration_using_VO_tools.html"target="_blank" rel="noopener">Combining the CDS services to study gamma-ray and high energy spectral bands</a></p> <p><a href="https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/" title="https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Simbad" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Simbad-gray.svg?logo=simbad&logoColor=lightblue&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/aladin.gml" title="https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/aladin.gml"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Aladin" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Aladin-gray.svg?logo=aladin&logoColor=purple&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="http://cdsxmatch.u-strasbg.fr/" title="http://cdsxmatch.u-strasbg.fr/"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Xmatch" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Xmatch-gray.svg?logo=xmatch&logoColor=blue&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR" title="https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Vizier" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Vizier-gray.svg?logo=vizier&logoColor=orange&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery" title="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astroquery" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/astroquery-gray.svg"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astropy" title="https://github.com/astropy/astropy"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astropy" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/units%20%7C%20coordinates%20%7C%20tables-gray.svg?logo=astropy"></a></p> <p>For this tutorial we focus on gamma-ray and high energy spectral bands and start by querying suitable catalogues using VO tools. After that we cross-correlate catalogues to find entries for objects in different photon energy bands. We then apply selection criteria to extract sources from a catalogue and use the resulting observational measures of the selected objects to explore possible correlations. We close by displaying spectral energy distributions obtained from different photometric data sets.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://cds-astro.github.io/tutorials/5_Brown_Dwarf_Search__Cross-matching_Catalogs.html"target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cross matching catalogs to discover potential brown dwarfs</a></p> <p><a href="https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/" title="https://simbad.cds.unistra.fr/simbad/"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Simbad" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Simbad-gray.svg?logo=simbad&logoColor=lightblue&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/aladin.gml" title="https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/aladin.gml"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Aladin" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Aladin-gray.svg?logo=aladin&logoColor=purple&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="http://cdsxmatch.u-strasbg.fr/" title="http://cdsxmatch.u-strasbg.fr/"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Xmatch" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Xmatch-gray.svg?logo=xmatch&logoColor=blue&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR" title="https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Vizier" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Vizier-gray.svg?logo=vizier&logoColor=orange&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery" title="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astroquery" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/astroquery-gray.svg"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astropy" title="https://github.com/astropy/astropy"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astropy" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/units%20%7C%20coordinates-gray.svg?logo=astropy"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/pyvo" title="https://github.com/astropy/pyvo"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="pyvo" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/pyvo-gray.svg"></a></p> <p>Brown dwarfs are objects occupying the gap between the least massive stars and the most massive planets. They are intrinsically faint objects. Hence, heir detection is not straightforward and, in fact, was almost impossible until the advent of global surveys at deep optical and near-infrared bands like SDSS, 2MASS or DENIS. We propose here to mine the 2MASS point source catalogue (2MASS-PSC) and SDSS-DR9 databases to identify T-type brown dwarfs through an appropriate combination of colors in the optical and the infrared, an approach that perfectly fits into the Virtual Observatory.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://cds-astro.github.io/tutorials/6_Planetary_Nebulae__Advanced_usage_of_HiPS_and_MOCs.html"target="_blank" rel="noopener">Advanced usage of HiPS and MOCs in the MASH planetary nebulae catalog</a></p> <p><a href="https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR" title="https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Vizier" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Vizier-gray.svg?logo=vizier&logoColor=orange&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://github.com/cds-astro/mocpy" title="https://github.com/cds-astro/mocpy"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="MOCpy" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/MOCpy-gray.svg?logo=mocpy&logoWidth=20&"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery" title="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astroquery" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/astroquery-gray.svg"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astropy" title="https://github.com/astropy/astropy"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astropy" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/units%20%7C%20coordinates%20%7C%20io-gray.svg?logo=astropy"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/pyvo" title="https://github.com/astropy/pyvo"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="pyvo" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/pyvo-gray.svg"></a></p> <p>This tutorial is centred on using HiPS and MOC to efficiently reach your science goals. In particular it will help you answer questions such as: What is the footprint of my imaging survey? Where on the sky do we have low foreground extinction? Where do these two regions overlap? How can I get interesting catalogue entries within these regions? This questions are answered by building MOCs from a set of images. We also build a MOC from the pixel values of an all-sky survey. We then move on to query catalogues in an intersection of these MOCs.</p> </li> <li> <p><a href="https://cds-astro.github.io/tutorials/7_Multi-messenger_astronomy__Planning_observations_rapidly_with_MOCs.html"target="_blank" rel="noopener">Planning multi-messenger observations rapidly with MOCs</a></p> <p><a href="https://github.com/cds-astro/mocpy" title="https://github.com/cds-astro/mocpy"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="MOCpy" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/MOCpy-gray.svg?logo=mocpy&logoWidth=20&"></a> <a href="https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/aladin.gml" title="https://aladin.cds.unistra.fr/aladin.gml"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="Aladin" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/Aladin-gray.svg?logo=aladin&logoColor=purple&logoWidth=20"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/pyvo" title="https://github.com/astropy/pyvo"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="pyvo" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/pyvo-gray.svg"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astropy" title="https://github.com/astropy/astropy"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astropy" src="https://custom-icon-badges.demolab.com/badge/units%20%7C%20coordinates%20%7C%20io-gray.svg?logo=astropy"></a> <a href="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery" title="https://github.com/astropy/astroquery"target="_blank" rel="noopener"><img alt="astroquery" src="https://img.shields.io/badge/astroquery-gray.svg"></a></p> <p>We will first explore Multi-Order Coverage (MOC) data structure manipultation, then we will see how astroplan and Space-Time Multi Order Coverage (STMOC) can be combined to plan observation according to a MOC. The final step is a concrete example illustrating how STMOCs can be built in a few seconds to plan observations from three ground observatories, with the aim to cover of the sky localisation produced after detection of a gravitational wave.</p> </li> </ol> <h1 id="video-tutorials">Video tutorials <a href="#video-tutorials" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h1><p>These short video tutorials describe how to perform simple tasks, or highlight features of the CDS services.</p> <h2 id="introducing-the-aladin-stack">Introducing the Aladin stack <a href="#introducing-the-aladin-stack" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h2> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-p_nYH42NUo?autoplay=0&controls=1&end=0&loop=0&mute=0&start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="Introducing the Aladin stack" ></iframe> </div> <h2 id="aladin-simbad-pointer-tutorial">Aladin SIMBAD pointer tutorial <a href="#aladin-simbad-pointer-tutorial" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h2> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/0iIby3XXvp0?autoplay=0&controls=1&end=0&loop=0&mute=0&start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="Aladin SIMBAD pointer tutorial" ></iframe> </div> <p>Check out our <a href="https://www.youtube.com/@CDSportal"target="_blank" rel="noopener">YouTube channel</a> for a complete list of CDS video tutorials.</p> <p>If you can not access YouTube, these video tutorials are also available on the CDS channel of the <a href="https://pod.unistra.fr/centre-de-donnees-astronomiques-de-strasbourg/"target="_blank" rel="noopener">Strasbourg University POD platform</a>.</p> <h1 id="hips-tutorials">HiPS tutorials <a href="#hips-tutorials" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h1><h2 id="adass-tutorial">ADASS Tutorial <a href="#adass-tutorial" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h2><div class="floating right"> <img alt="ADASS 2018" src="https://cds.unistra.fr/help/tutorials-more/adass-2018/adass2018logo.png"> </div> <p>In 2018, CDS presented a 90 minutes tutorial on <a href="https://cds.unistra.fr/help/tutorials-more/adass-2018/">All-sky astronomy with HiPS and MOCs</a>.</p> <h2 id="ov-france-tutorial">OV-France tutorial <a href="#ov-france-tutorial" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h2><p> <a class="logo" href="http://www.france-ov.org/twiki/bin/view/" title="OVFrance - Observatoires Virtuels France" target="_blank"> <img class="logo large floating-right" src="https://cds.unistra.fr/img/projects/ovfrance.png" alt="OV France" /> </a> In 2024, Thomas Boch presented a <a href="https://cds.unistra.fr/blog/2024/03/20-ov-france-tutorial/">HiPS tutorial during the OV-France semi-hackathon</a>.</p> <h1 id="pdf-tutorials">PDF tutorials <a href="#pdf-tutorials" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h1><h2 id="visualizing-starlight-polarization-maps-with-aladin">Visualizing starlight polarization maps with Aladin <a href="#visualizing-starlight-polarization-maps-with-aladin" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h2> <embed class="pdf" src="https://cds.unistra.fr/help/tutorials/starlight_polarization_aladin.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="800" height="600" /> <h2 id="simbad-introduction-tutorial">SIMBAD introduction tutorial <a href="#simbad-introduction-tutorial" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h2><p>Older step-by-step tutorials for the CDS services.</p> <embed class="pdf" src="https://cds.unistra.fr/help/tutorials/tutorial_simbad2024.pdf" type="application/pdf" width="800" height="600" /> <h1 id="use-of-vo-tools-for-education">Use of VO tools for education <a href="#use-of-vo-tools-for-education" class="quick-link" title="Quick link on this section."></a></h1><p>Tools like Aladin can be used for educational purposes.
