Theory in a Virtual Observatory

چکیده
During the last couple of years, observers have started to make plans for a Virtual Observatory, as a federation of existing data bases, connected through levels of software that enable rapid searches, correlations, and various forms of data mining. We propose to extend the notion of a Virtual Observatory by adding archives of simulations, together with interactive query and visualization capabilities, as well as ways to simulate observations of simulations in order to compare them with observations. For this purpose, we have already organized two small workshops, earlier in 2001, in Tucson and Aspen. We have also provided concrete exam-

Nineteenth and Twentieth Century Clouds Over the Twenty-First Century Virtual Observatory
Physical science has changed in the century since Lord Kelvin’s celebrated essay on Nineteenth Century Clouds over the Dynamical Theory of Heat and Light, but some things are the same. Analogs in what was happening in physics then and what is happening in astronomy today serve to remind us why we can be confident the Virtual Observatory of the twenty-first century will have a rich list of chall...
متن کاملTheory in the VO
In this document we discuss the introduction of theoretical results and data, for example that generated by large scale numerical simulations, into ongoing virtual observatory (VO) activities. The whitepaper has two main target audiences. The first is the community of theorists who either wish to take the initial steps necessary to publish their results online, or who want to make their existin...
متن کاملIncorporating Theory Data into the Virtual Observatory
We describe work investigating how astronomical simulation data can be effectively incorporated into the Virtual Observatory. We focus specifically on determining whether the data query, access and retrieval standards being developed by the International Virtual Observatory Alliance for observational data can be similarly applied to, and fully support, the requirements of data extracted from as...

متن کاملThe conformity barriers of virtual technologies in higher education according to the masters' personal epistemology: a case study
The present study covered the conformity barriers of virtual technologies in higher education. It was a qualitative research and population composed of the masters in Kordistan university. The instrument was a semi-structured questionnaire and analyzed based on ground theory through NVIVO software. The most significant conditional causes for interaction were masters' imposed and authoritarian ...
