GAVO Services
GAVO has produced a number of services, ranging from simple, standard cone searches, through more complex query services to multi-catalogue matching and classification services. They provide easy access to data archives and simulation data according to VO standards.
The following is a list of the main web services that have been published by the GAVO team itself. Some of these provide science ready results, others are more intended to provide working examples for other developers who pursue similar goals. For information on more VO services, see Getting Started.
Please also visit the GAVO Data Center, a web application for providing access to astronomical data archives and services. Some of GAVO's services are registered there as well.
Actively supported services
These products are actively supported and developed.
A growing collection of data and services provided on behalf of third parties. Some of the GAVO services are also available there.
A web service for querying the results of the
Millennium simulation using SQL. A very successful project with 200 registered users, posing on average 6700 queries per day. Contributed to >30 papers.
Based on the Millennium Web Application, this service gives access to data from the MultiDark and Bolshoi simulations using SQL queries.
Access to a growing archive of radial velocities for > 400 000 stars.
Service for providing spectral energy distributions based on model atmosphere calculations.
Other Maintained Resources
Active Services
Services to discover and to access images, and xxx from ROSAT archive in MPE.The archive includes all the data including pointed observations as well as all sky survey, and all filters, PS, PSPC, and HRI.The web pages implement the IVOA standard
Simple Cone Search and
Simple Image Access Protocol.
A simple 'virtual telescope', producing an all-sky map of the cosmic microwave background as it will be observed by the Planck satellite. Interesting features are the ability to add a variety of foregrounds and that the results are returned in the official format to be produced by Planck.
Service built to release data to both the astronomical community and the public including data sharing and viewing facilities. The data are XMM observation of A3266 as well as 4 HIFLUGCS clusters and a Chandra observation of M84. Images can be obtained in various physical quantities, temperature, gas mass, iron abundance etc.
Services to discover and access one dimensional spectra remotely. Two data sets are made available: optical follow up of Chandra Deep Field South observations, and a set of theoretical spectra of planetary nebulae.
Outdated Services
These GAVO products are not actively supported anymore and listed here only for archiving purpose and completeness. If you are interested in further development, please contact us.
A prototype for a more complex, "interoperable" web application. Allows a user to query the ROSAT All Sky Survey source catalogue, cross-match this with a number of external catalogues to retrieve information for these sources in different wavelength ranges, and sends the result to a remote web service that classifies the results.
Another 'virtual telescope', in this case mimicking observations of galaxy clusters that have been simulated with simulator codes including hydrodynamics.
