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...

Technology for Scanning Astronomical Photographic Plates

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

Serdica Journal of Computing

Similarity:

ACM Computing Classification System (1998): J.2. Here we describe the technology and the experience during the astronomical photographic plate digitization with flatbed EPSON scanners. More than 275000 plates in different observatories in Europe were digitized with such scanners last decade. This work is supported by the BG NSF DO-02-273 and DO-02-275 grants and DFG grant STE: 710/6-1,20.11.2009.

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...
