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...

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...

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...
