... We present a proposed standard for data dictionaries associated with catalogs being accessed through the Astrophysics Data System (ADS) Mosaic Catalog Service. Each catalog made available for searching must have a data dictionary, which consists of a set of specified keywords describing format, content and location of data. ... There are two keywords in the Table Data Dictionary which indicate to the server software that the corresponding column contains special attributes. ...

The original files with the data were in different formats. ... Such files were named "standard data files" and linked to the database. They can be easily transformed to any desirable format by a code. Here we present two simple computer programs of this kind. ... When running the code, you can specify columns in the output file: wavelength, energy (eV) or wavenumber (cm -1 ) as the first column, and complex refractive index or dielectric function as the second and third columns. ...

OBs moved to the operational database at Garching are replicated to the operational database at the observing sites by the same mechanism used for standard service mode Obs. ...

Next: Reduction procedure Up: Extinction and transformation Previous: Strategy . Standard stars can be included in the extinction solution, if one is careful. The problem is that there are usually appreciable ``conformity errors'' due to mismatch between the instrumental and the standard passbands [ 16 ]. ... Thus, it is wrong to assume that the transformation between the instrumental system and the standard system is exact, even if there were no measurement error in either system [ 1 ]. ...

Hide Zen home . ... Large scale survey projects produce huge amount of data, which needs to be processed and organized in databases to provide access by astronomical community. There are many problems in the current state of art of accessing large astronomical databases and organizing programmatic access to the distributed and diverse data, which Virtual Observatory initiative should eventually to solve. ... Nowadays, it's not unusual to work with billions of objects in terabyte-sized database. ...

... The material in "From Stargazers to Starships" meets several important requirements of the national standards. Pages cited below are from National Science Education Standards National Academy Press, Washington 1995. ... For example: the sections on astronomy not only describe calendars and sundials (including their construction), but also the astronomy of the ancient Greeks, including two different ways in which ancient Greeks estimated the distance to the Moon. ...

Next: Examples of Setup Files Up: Setup Files Previous: Setup Files Contents . Over 200 standard setup files have been created, covering many of the normal modes of observing. ...

... Standard magnitudes can only be computed for the U, B and V filters and hence the only standard colours that can be calculated are U-B, B-V and U-V. An important point to note, is that these standard colours can be computed using the following instrumental colours - U-B, B-V, U-V, (UVW1-U), (UVW1-B), (UVW1-V), (UVW2-B) and (UVW2-V). ... The program loops through these colours and if the relevant instrumental magnitudes are present computes the standard magnitudes and standard colour. ...

. To redirect the standard input for a command use the < (less than) character followed by the name of the input file. For example: mail tony < memo . This redirects the standard input to the mail command so that it comes from the file memo . The effect of this is to mail the contents of this file to the user tony .
