چکیده
The Aladin interactive sky atlas, developed at CDS, is a service providing simultaneous access to digitized images of the sky, astronomical catalogues, and databases. The driving motivation is to facilitate direct, visual comparison of observational data at any wavelength with images of the optical sky, and with reference catalogues. The set of available sky images consists of the STScI Digitized Sky Surveys, completed with high resolution images of crowded regions scanned at the MAMA facility in Paris.

متن کاملA Comparative Study of the Astronomical Revolution and Astronomy in the Safavid Period
The science of astronomy in Iran, like some other places in the world, has a long history. According to the internal accounts and the travelogues of the European tourists, astronomy was one of the most noted sciences for the Safavid government, and was influential in all affairs including governmental and military affairs, celebrations, and mourning ceremonies. This study uses a descriptive-ana...
متن کاملVision Modelling in Astronomy : Recent Results 1 Artiicial Vision and Astronomical Images
Many researches were carried on the automated identiication of the astrophysical sources, and their relevant measurements. Large astronomical images may contain typically a large set of stars and diiuse objects. The automated analysis requires sequence of algorithms, for detecting, for identifying and for measuring these sources. Many vision models have been developed for this task. Their use d...

متن کاملCluster, and Distant Ob Associations
The Virtual Observatory is useful. I summarise some of my works where I extensively use the Aladin sky atlas. Topics cover from the search and common proper motion confirmation of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in wide (ρ > 1000 AU) binaries and multiple systems, to the identification and characterisation of stellar and substellar populations in young open clusters and OB associations at ...
