| Aladin | | Description: | Aladin is an interactive software sky atlas allowing the user to visualize digitized images of any part of the sky, to superimpose entries from astronomical catalogs or personal user data files, and to interactively access related data and information from the SIMBAD, NED, VizieR, or other archives for all known objects in the field.
Aladin is particularly useful for multi-spectral cross-identifications of astronomical sources, observation preparation and quality control of new data sets (by comparison with standard catalogues covering the same region of sky).
The Aladin interactive atlas is available in three modes: a simple previewer, a Java applet interface and a Java Standalone interface. | | | Version: | 2.009 | | Filesize: | 384.77 Kb | | Added on: | 09-Feb-2004 | | Downloads: | 595 | | Rating: | 7.7 (3 Votes) | | Category: | Java | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | Comments (1) | |
| IridiumFlares | | Description: | IridiumFlares is an application that predicts the flares produced by the constellation of communication satellites known as Iridium. A flare can be observed when a light source (such as the Sun or the Moon) is reflected by one of the satellite’s antennas. A flare is a very bright phenomenon (the brighter have a magnitude of -8.4) that can easily be observed if the date and location in the sky are known. This phenomenon generally occurs at least once a day, the morning before sun set or the evening after dawn. Some flares can be visible during the day. The duration of a flare is approximately from 3 to 8 seconds, therefore an application that predicts the exact date is required to have a maximum chance to correctly observe the phenomenon.
IridiumFlares has been written in the portable language Java (version 1.4). It requires a Java virtual machine (>= 1.4) and the Java3d package.
Note: You are advised to choose the «Java Web Start installer». | | | Version: | 0.3 beta | | Filesize: | 3.62 MB | | Added on: | 29-Dec-2004 | | Downloads: | 557 | | Category: | Java | | Homepage | Rate resource | Details | |
