Software Tools for Digitization of Astronomical Photographic Plates

Kirov, Nikolay, Tsvetkov, Milcho, Tsvetkova, Katya (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. In this paper we present tools for helping the process of digitization of astronomical photographic plates. The requirements of Virtual Observatory presume that any FITS file, which contains a digital image, has to be equipped with a complete header. Wide-Field Plate Database (WFPDB) offers most of the meta-data needed for the creation of FITS header. The header2011 software gives the user an appropriate tool for connecting...

Potsdam Library of Astronomical Photographic Plates

Tsvetkova, Katya, Tsvetkov, Milcho, Kirov, Nikolay, Boehm, Petra, Steinmetz, Matthias, Arlt, Rainer, Enke, Harry, von Berlepsch, Regina (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. We present the Potsdam photographic plate library at the Leibniz Institute for Astrophysics Potsdam. It includes plate archives, data from plate index catalogues and extracts from astronomical logbooks, as well as digitized plate images and interfaces for accessing all the available information. The plate index catalogues and the digitized images of the Potsdam astronomical photographic plates are prepared according to the...

The Wide-Field Plate Database: Development and Access via Internet

Tsvetkov, Milcho (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. The motivations and results from the first 1.5-year period of the project “Wide-field Plate Database (WFPDB): Development and Access via Internet” (DO-02-273/18.12.2008), approved for funding through a competition held by the Bulgarian National Science Fund in the field of Promotion of Research in Priority Areas, are described. The main direction of the development of the project is digitization and preservation of, and web...

Digital Preservation and Web Access to the Konkoly Observatory Schmidt Telescope Plate Archive

Tsvetkova, Katya, Tsvetkov, Milcho, Holl, András (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. The digital preservation of the Konkoly Observatory Schmidt telescope plates, as well as the web access to the plate previews, aim for the preservation of this scientific heritage and the re-use of the astronomical photographic plates in time domain astronomy. The photographic plates used as detectors and information storage at astronomical observations with the Konkoly Schmidt telescope had been obtained in the period 1962–1996. The...

Photographic Plate Libraries at European Astronomical Observatories

Tsvetkova, Katya, Tsvetkov, Milcho, Kounchev, Ognyan (2012)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. This paper presents the efforts to organize photographic plate libraries at European astronomical observatories and institutions. The Wide-Field Plate Database project, launched in 1991, has been collecting data about the plates, including plate archives, plate index catalogue data extracted from the logbooks, and digitized plate images. Developing further the WFPDB project, we intend to complete the high-resolution digitization...

Data Extraction from Carte Du Ciel Triple Images

Laskov, Lasko, Tsvetkov, Milcho (2013)

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

Carte du Ciel (from French, map of the sky) is a part of a 19th century extensive international astronomical project whose goal was to map the entire visible sky. The results of this vast effort were collected in the form of astrographic plates and their paper representatives that are called astrographic maps and are widely distributed among many observatories and astronomical institutes over the world. Our goal is to design methods and algorithms to automatically extract data from digitized...

Determination of the Dynamic Contact Angle trough the Meniscus Profile Определяне на динамичния контактен ъгъл чрез профила на менискуса

Iliev, Stanimir, Pesheva, Nina (2011)

Union of Bulgarian Mathematicians

Similarity:

Станимир Д. Илиев, Нина Хр. Пешева - Представен е хибриден експериментално-числен метод, работещ в реално време, за определяне на макроскопичния динамичен контактен ъгъл, който менискусът на течност в съд формира с вертикална пластина, която се потапя или издърпва с постоянна скорост от съда с течността. Този метод е приложим, когато системата е в стационарно състояние. Методът се базира на пълния хидродинамичен модел на Войнов. Той позволява да се получи числено с висока точност стационарната...
