Tools for Data-Intensive Astronomy
a VO Community Day in Los Angeles
Held Wednesday December 7, 2011
Location: Hameetman Auditorium, Cahill Center for Astronomy and Astrophysics, California Institute of Technology
The Virtual Observatory (VO) is realizing global electronic integration of astronomy data, tools, and services for use by individuals around the world. This new environment will facilitate astronomy research with a speed, efficiency, and effectiveness not previously possible, and it will be available to all researchers, independent of their affiliation or access to observing facilities. During this "VO Day", aimed at research astronomers, VO experts from the Virtual Astronomical Observatory (VAO) - one of many VO projects worldwide - demonstrated new tools and services for data-intensive astronomy in the context of a range of science use cases and tutorials.
The workshop was organized and sponsored by the US Virtual Astronomical Observatory.
