High Energy in the Virtual Observatory workshop

29 avr. 2025, 09:30 → 30 avr. 2025, 18:00 Europe/Paris

Salle du RdC, Bat. B/Chandon & Salle du Conseil, Bât. Perrault (Observatoire de Paris)

The objective of the workshop is to define and validate the content of an ObsCore extension for the High Energy Astronomy domain, prepared in the context of the IVOA High Energy Interest Groug (HEIG). The HEIG will provide an endorsed note with use cases and proposed data search attributes specific to the HE domain.

We will focus on use cases that participate to the proposition of dedicated HE attributes to extend ObsCore, and validate the table of attributes.

The process to standardized ObsCore extensions will also be discussed, in preparation of a session at the next IVOA meeting (2-6 June in College Park, USA).

See the following links to notes and documents:

• HEIG meeting on HE ObsCore extension (11 Feb. 2025)
  • Discussion on the content of the HEIG ObsCore Note, with links to the main documents :
    • Obscore v1.1 Standard (2017): https://www.ivoa.net/documents/ObsCore/
    • Radio extension proposal (Nov 2024): https://github.com/ivoa-std/ObsCoreExtensionForRadioData
