High Energy Interest Group (HEIG) Page

Our first meeting at the May 2023 Interop in Bologna led to a informal group of High Energy project coordinating on topics related to IVOA support and usage. We welcome all projects with a High Energy interest (e.g., X-ray, Gamma-Ray, Neutrino). This page is meant to be a place to identify and build synergy among the projects.
