VO Common Activities : 

VO Common Activities WFPDB: Since 1994 Since 1997 Since 2000

VO Common Activities : 

VO Common Activities WFPDB: Since 2003 Plate Previews and Row Scans maintains – existing amount - 500 GB (Local Server “Aquila”) Soon 1TB Pleiades Plate Database, Gould plates s. 1872 CdC etc

VO Common Activities : 

VO Common Activities WFPDB:

Plate Digitization: 

Plate Digitization Flat bad scanner Epson 1640 XL consortium Italy(7), Germany(2), Armenia(1), Bulgaria(1), Russia(2) etc. (speed: p/week 25-100 GB; res. 16 μ/pix) Plate size: up to 30x30 cm. More FB scanners: Sonneberg(!), Konkoly, Bucharest, Spain, USA (MMO) etc. Future generation scanners HCO, Bob Simcoe scanner

HyperLeda mirror in SSADC : 

HyperLeda mirror in SSADC http://www.skyarchive.org/hyperleda The scientific goal which motivated the development of former HyperCat was the study of the physics and evolution of galaxies. Since 2000 HyperCat and LEDA are operated in a common consortium which will offer a merged interface called HyperLeda. Since 2004 HyperLEDA is mirrored in SSADC, future development DENIS mirror: contract was signed

VO SRI projects:
