6BISS VO Hands-on

In the hands-on session, you have the choice of four use cases:

  • Explore the Pleiades with TOPCAT and Aladin -- If you've never done anything with the VO before, this is what you should go for first.
  • Adding catalog data... -- this is a quick intro to upload joins and the like. If you've never done that before, this is a must. Even if you have done it before, have a quick peek for the Simbad marginalium in there.
  • The demo -- try the objects-with-infrared-excess use case from the talk. The link gives you lecture notes, the use case is towards the end.
  • TAP uploads and SAMP in pyvo -- if you have some experience with the VO already and know a good bit of python, try this notebook.

You can of course tackle more than one if you're fast.

Link Tips: http://dc.g-vo.org/VOTT has lots of other tutorials, use cases, ad the like; https://blog.g-vo.org has about one more or less entertaining post per month (if you don't have one yet, get an RSS Aggregator).
