The Role of Data Science in Astronomy and Interstellar Exploration 
Space has always been a fascinating frontier for humans. From the first satellite, Sputnik 1, in 1957, to the amazing Mars rovers, our adventures in space show our love for discovery, creativity, and courage. Exploring space is a big dream, always pushing us to learn more and go further. Nowadays, data science is making a meaningful contribution to space technology. It's changing how we think about space. Being able to gather, understand, and use lots of data has helped us get to know the universe better and has changed how we explore and move through space...
 
GRID-based Virtual Observatory VIRGO.UA 
VO VIRGO.UA for cosmology and astrophysics is a segment of VO «Infrastructure»- a virtual organization, which deals with ensuring the provision of standards for Grid Services for virtual organizations, to ensure reliability functioning of the Ukrainian power grid, Grid training for users and administrators of the Grid sites, as well as the creation of technical conditions UNG for entry into the international grid community...
 
WDC-Ukraine 
WDC-Ukraine is a part of World Data Center System of the International Council of Science (ICSU). Among the basic tasks of WDC-Ukraine there is collection, handling and storage of science data and giving access to it for usage both in science research and study process. That include contemporary tutoring technologies and resources of e-libraries and archives; remote access to own information resources for the wide circle of scientists from the universities and science institutions of Ukraine...
 
IVOA NEWSLETTER
US VAO Data Discovery Portal 
Find datasets from thousands of astronomical collections known to the VO and over wide areas of the sky. This includes important collections from archives around the world. Feedback on your experience with the tool is appreciated -- please send your comments, suggestions, and questions to the VAO Help Desk.
 
US VAO Cross-Comparison Tool 
Perform fast positional cross-matches between an input table of up to 1 million sources and common astronomical source catalogs, such as 2MASS, SDSS DR7 and USNO-B. Feedback on your experience with the tool is appreciated -- please send your comments, suggestions, and questions to the VAO Help Desk.
 
VOPlot v1.8 Beta 
VOPlot v1.8Beta includes many enhancements and bug fixes. To name a few v1.8Beta supports multi-grid plots for 2D Scatter-Plot which allows the user to have multiple plots having grid size from 1x1 to 3x3 in a single window. Paginated view is added to see data in tabular format which allows user to navigate systematically. Provision to label Lat/Long lines is also added. Users can now plot a cumulative histogram for all histogram types. VOPlot 1.8Beta shows the metadata of a FITS file instantaneously while the actual loading happens in background. VOPlot v1.8Beta also provides better handling of "faulty data" while parsing an ASCII file.

   Kharkiv Institute of Radio Astronomy UTR-2 Catalogue 

In early 70-th the unique low-frequency radio telescope UTR-2 was created at the Radioastronomical Observatory near Grakovo, Kharkiv region (now- S. Ya. Braude Radioastronomical Observatory, it is the subdivision of the Institute of Radio Astronomy of NASU). At present the UTR-2 is the greatest and the most perfect tool at the decameter band of the wavelengths. Its characteristic features are the great linear sizes (2x1 km) and the effective area (150 000 m2), the high directivity (the beamwidth is 25’ at the frequency 25 MHz), the low level of sidelobes, and the wide frequency range (8-35 MHz), the many-beaming, the electronic control of the beam at the wide sector in both coordinates, the great dynamic range, the interference stability, the reliance in the operation. Combination of the high efficiency of the radio telescope UTR-2 and the new registration facilities allowed in last time to carry out the large volume of investigations in different programs with obtained new results. The most of Universe’s objects from the nearest vicinity of the Earth, the Solar system, our Galaxy to the most distant radio galaxies and quasars are accessible for studies by the decameter radio astronomy methods.

At present the most complete catalogue of the extragalactic sources of the Northern sky (near 4000 objects) is compiled at the decameter band. The analysis of the statistical complete survey of the extragalactic sources permitted to determine and classify their radio spectra, to reveal great variations of the low-frequency spectral indices, to identify the catalogued objects.

The catalogue of extragalactic sources UTR-2 is on-line at the site of Institute of Radio Astronomy.



   Institute of Astronomy of Kharkiv National University Catalogue XPM 

We combined data from the Two-Micron All Sky Survey (2MASS) and USNO-A2.0 catalogues in order to derive the absolute proper motions of about 280 million stars distributed all over the sky excluding a small region near the Galactic Centre, in the magnitude range 12 < B < 19 mag. The proper motions were derived from the 2MASS Point Sources and USNO-A2.0 catalogue positions with a mean epoch difference of about 45 years for the Northern hemisphere and about 17 years for the Southern one. The zero-point of the absolute proper motion frame (the ‘absolute calibration’) was specified with the use of about 1.45 million galaxies from 2MASS. Most of the systematic zonal errors inherent in the USNO-A2.0 catalogue were eliminated before the calculation of proper motions. The mean formal error of absolute calibration is less than 1 mas yr?1. The XPM Catalogue will be available via CDS in Strasbourg during 2010. The generated catalogue contains the International Celestial Reference System positions of stars for the J2000 epoch, original absolute proper motions, as well as B, R, J, H and K magnitudes. A comparison of the proper motions obtained in this work with the data of other recent catalogues of quasars was fulfilled.
