Integrating The MACHO Dataset with the Virtual Observatory
نویسندگان
چکیده
A Virtual Observatory (VO) provides enhanced distributed access to online astronomical datasets, and frequently incorporates data processing and visualisation facilities. Almost all critical aspects of datagrid research and technology are encountered when developing a Virtual Observatory. Issues include interoperability of datasets and processing software, metadata format standardisation, and resolution of ontological issues. Members of the ANU Supercomputer Facility (ANUSF) are undertaking research and implementation projects in several key VO areas. In this paper we discuss the data sets and astronomy projects with which ANUSF is involved, and outline the VO projects we are undertaking based on these resources.

بهبود بازشناسی چهره با یک تصویر از هر فرد به روش تولید تصاویر مجازی توسط شبکههای عصبی
This paper deals with the problem of face recognition from a single image per person by producing virtual images using neural networks. To this aim, the person and variation information are separated and the associated manifolds are estimated using a nonlinear neural information processing model. For increasing the number of training samples in neural classifier, virtual images are produced for...
متن کاملContamination in the MACHO dataset and the puzzle of LMC Microlensing
In a recent series of three papers, Belokurov, Evans, & Le Du (2002, 2004a, 2004b) attempted to re-analyse the MACHO collaboration data and give alternative sets of microlensing events and alternative optical depths to microlensing toward the LMC. Even though they examined less than 0.2% of the data they claimed that by using a neural net program they could select a better (and smaller) set of ...

Maraghe observatory was built by such engineers as Moayiededdin Orozi etc. under supervision of Khaje Nasireddin Tousi in 7th century AH. The most significant feature associated with Maraghe observatory is the fact that architecture is employed to achieve astronomical purposes in this site. The reason for preferring observatory by astronomers was the fact that these units are superior to wooden...

متن کاملDetection of Rotation in a Binary Microlens: PLANET Photometry of MACHO 97-BLG-41
We analyze PLANET collaboration data for MACHO 97-BLG-41, the only microlensing event observed to date in which the source transits two disjoint caustics. The PLANET data, consisting of 46 V-band and 325 I-band observations from five southern observatories, span a period from the initial alert until the end of the event. Our data are incompatible with a static binary lens, but are well fit by a...
