 ESA (Europe) 

ESASky version 7.0 released early November containing an interactive Time-Series Viewer for detailed inspection of public time-series data from Gaia DR3 epoch photometry, XMM-Newton EPIC photometry and XMM-Newton OM photometry. This release also contains the latest version of the XMM-OM serendipitous ultraviolet source survey catalogue (XMM-SUSS6.2) and an upgrade to the latest Aladin Lite sky visualisation (from CDS), which contains support to FITS HiPS, integrated FITS controls within the skies panel (e.g. changing the sky stretch, cuts and blending) and new sky projections (e.g. Spheric, Tangential, Aitoff, Mollweide…).

+GAVO's Heidelberg data centre keeps adding resources at a rate of a few per semester; a particularly notable addition was an obscore mapping of DASCH https://blog.g-vo.org/dasch-is-now-in-the-vo.html.

We maintain and support our data publication package DaCHS. Notable improvements since the last interop include preliminary support for the persistent TAP uploads https://blog.g-vo.org/a-proposal-for-persistent-tap-uploads.html and a prototype for VODataService's proposed productTypeServed as well as registering Obscore tables in their own records (https://blog.g-vo.org/what-s-new-in-dachs-2-10.html).

We also participate in the development of pyVO. Its version 1.6 now has our new API for global image discovery https://blog.g-vo.org/global-dataset-discovery-in-pyvo.html.

In teaching and outreach, we have given a lecture on using the VO with particular attention on ADQL and pyVO: https://blog.g-vo.org/learn-to-use-the-vo.html. The resulting lecture notes hopefully work as something like a textbook, and re-use by other projects is of course highly welcome.

The USVOA continues to actively support IVOA developments and meetings.

The Center for Astrophysics | Harvard & Smithsonian Chandra team has been particularly active in the debate of high energy astrophysics standards and is one of the leading proponents of the establishment of a working group in this area.
