Reports from the Projects

ArVO


AstroGrid


Australia-VO

We are currently looking at ways to link better with the various astronomy data centres in Australia, as there are several groups that are not connected to the ASVO (e.g. gravitational waves, theory/simulations, SKA regional centre).

At this stage we will be forming a Astronomy Data Coordination Group, which will link with the ASVO. The goal is to broaden the reach of the VO to these other communities, and encourage their uptake of the various standards and processes.

Node updates

CASDA

  • Major hardware refresh including virtualisation of much of our processing layer
  • Minor enhancements of the web interface
  • Minor enhancements of the VO services e.g. distance in SIA2 cone search results
  • Expanded the DOI metadata shared with DataCite when minting DOIs
  • Publishing RACS and WALLABY project source catalogues in catalog HiPS format for interactive exploration
  • Implementation of new cutout service with SIA1
Data Central
  • Redesign of backend data ingestion infrastructure, with greater use of VO protocols
  • Implementation of new TAP service at https://datacentral.org.au/vo/tap (still to be registered)
  • New datasets, including several from MWA (GLEAM-X and LoBES)
  • Developing DOI minting infrastructure

- IVOA Roles - TCG Chair - J Evans, KDD Chair - R D'Abrusco, TDIG V Chair - Mark CD

- Pursuing FAIR standards for CfA data - recent meeting with SMA & NRAO to exchange information on formats and standards; working to map Obscore keywords to SMA Radio data; Also Obscore review and use in Chandra - performed inventory and reviewed if a high energy extension are needed

- Work on Science Platform IR&D project using Rubin Science Platform application for CfA use - Instatiated the Platform at CfA - coordinating with RSP lead on topics to discuss/resolve before conclusions are made.

- Populating DOIs in Chandra Source Catalog 2.1 production run and migrating previous catalog products (CSC 2.0) to current DOI format

- Contribute to IVOA DM pursuits: MIVOT 1.0, Spectrum DM RFE, moving forward on Dataset and Transform which will lead when completed to a data cube model. Data Cube model will support 1,2,3 dimensional data including the event list used by photon counting high energy projects (e.g., Chandra).

- Initiated HIPs project to automatically produce HIPs for Standard Processing at TBD cadence; thinkng about HIPS for the Chandra Source Catalog next.

- All Chairs/V Chairs to TCG & IGs contributed to Interop planning and presentations
