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...
