Power Spectrum for the Distribution of Galaxies on the Sphere
A method of Gorski of calculation of the power spectrum for CMB for incomplete COBE data set is applied to the distribution of galaxies on the... -
Wide-Field X-Ray Monitoring as a Data Source for the Virtual Observatory
We refer on novel X-ray telescopes with high sensitivity as well as large field of view of order of 1 000 square degrees or even more. The results... -
Laplacean Ideology for Preliminary Orbit Determination and Moving Celestial Body Identification in Virtual Epoch
Any CCD frames with stars or galaxies or clusters and other images must be studied for a searching of moving celestial objects, namely asteroids,... -
The World Space Observatory (WSO/UV) Archive: Requirements for Interoperation
The World Space Observatory (WSO/UV) is a space project for an ultraviolet telescope which has to fulfill the needs and scientific requirements of a... -
Development of a Multi-Mission Data Server at LAEFF
Astronomical archives have been built independently of each other showing a variety of access levels and policies. This has caused that their remote... -
