Variability and Rotation in Low Mass Stars and Brown Dwarfs
The evolution of angular momentum in stars is not really understood today. In particular, very little is known about rotation of substellar objects.... -
Ices in Star-Forming Regions: First Results from VLT-ISAAC
The first results from a VLT-ISAAC program on the infrared spectroscopy of deeply-embedded young stellar objects are presented. The advent of 8-m... -
The Herschel Space Observatory and the Earliest Stages of Star Formation
Despite recent progress, both the earliest stages of protostellar collapse and the origin of stellar masses remain poorly understood. Since... -
NGC 3603 IRS 9: The Revealment of a Cluster of Protostars and the Potential of Mid-IR Imaging with VLT + VISIR
In the framework of a multi-wavelengths study of NGC 3603 we have performed deep infrared imaging with the VLT Antu + ISAAC to investigate the nature... -
The Destruction of Circumstellar Discs
We present the results of Nbody simulations of the Orion Nebula Cluster which keep track of the destruction of discs by star-disc collisions and... -
The Physical Structure of a Prestellar Core in IC 5146
We observed an evenly sampled map of the 3 P 1-3... -
The Formation and Evolution of Planetary Systems: SIRTF Legacy Science in the VLT Era
We will utilize the sensitivity of SIRTF through the Legacy Science Program to carry out spectrophotometric observations of solar-type stars aimed at... -
A C + + Parser for VOTables
This paper provides a brief description of C + + Parser for VOTables. The parser is developed by Persistent Systems in association with IUCAA as part... -
Visualisation Tools for Very Large Amounts of Data
Can we perceive a billion stars? How would you go about classifying them? How quantitatively good would your analysis be? How reliable would your... -

Building the Infrastructure for the National Virtual Observatory: An Information Technology Research Initiative of the National Science Foundation
The U.S. National Science Foundation is sponsoring the development of the infrastructure for the National Virtual Observatory via its Information... -
Federation and Fusion of Astronomical Information: Standards and Tools for the Virtual Observatories
We present a review of the current organization of astronomical archives and data centers in terms of data federation. We point the challenges faced,... -
Meeting the User Science Challenge for a Virtual Universe
The AstroGrid project, a core UK eScience programme, is rapidly implementing the UK’s contribution to the global drive towards the Virtual... -
Building Interoperable NASA Archives
Over the past decades NASA has developed an extensive set of archives for space astronomy data. These archives are organized along mission,... -
Using XML-Schema to Model Data from Present and Future Astronomical Databases
XML (eXtensible Markup Language) has now become an almost inescapable tool for the exchange of formatted data over the World Wide Web and is now... -
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...
