Virtual Observatory Tools for Astronomers
This SEPnet video will show you how to use the Virtual Observatory (VO) tools: Aladin, Simbad, Vizier, and Topcat. You will find out how to access astronomical data, how to view and carry out analysis on astronomical images, how to query online databases, and how to use each of the VO tools together. This module will be particularly useful to students beginning their research in observational astronomy, as well as providing those researching theoretical astronomy a quick way to view images complementary to their simulations.
