DATACENTRES, DATABASES & CATALOGUES
Main actors in astronomy research in the country  There are 7 Research Institutes in the structure of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (NAS of Ukraine), 2 Research Institutes in the structure of the Ministry of Education and Science, Youth and Sport of Ukraine (MESYS of Ukraine); 15 astronomical observatories and Departments in the structure of the Universities of the MESYS of Ukraine; 1 Private Astronomical Observatory play a main role in the development and teaching Astronomy in Ukraine.
 
The XPM Catalog  Absolute proper motions of 280 million stars distributed all over the sky without gaps in the magnitude range 10m < V <20m on the basis of combined data from 2MASS and USNO-A2.0 catalogues.
 
MAO NASU Plate Archive   Digital archive of MAO NAS of Ukraine (GPA) comprises data of about 26 thousands of direct photographic plates, obtained with 14 instruments in 9 observational sites, and more than 2000 digital images of different resolution available via GPA search pages.
 
Mykolaiv AO Plate Archive   Digital archive of Mykolaiv Aastronomical Observatory (MykAO) includes astronomical data obtained during observations with photo plates and CCD frames. The digitization of the archive is near its completion. Digitized images are available via a web browser and Aladin.
 
AO LNU Plate Archive   Astronomical Observatory of Lviv National University (AO LNU) is the owner of valuable archive that stores approximately 8 000 of photographic plates from 1939, including nearly 6 000 direct images of the northern sky. The archive is partly digitized and images are available via the joint search pages of AO LNU and MAO NASU.
 
IRA UTR-2 catalogue of RS   The very-low frequency sky survey of discrete sources has been obtained in the Institute of Radio Astronomy of the Ukrainian National Academy of Sciences (Kharkov, Ukraine) with the UTR-2 radio telescope at a number of the lowest frequencies used in contemporary radio astronomy within the range from 10 to 25 MHz.
 
Mykolaiv AO stellar catalogues   27 astrometric stellar catalogues of Mykolaiv Aastronomical Observatory (MykAO) in VOTable format are available for downloading
 
AO KNU Historic Plate Archive   AO KNU glass collection contains about 20 thousand photographic plates. Historical part of the archive was received during 1898-1946 and now is being digitized.

  Mykolaiv VO  

To get access to the databases of Mykolayiv VO via Aladin as a stand-alone application, you have to make the following steps:

If you have not Aladin on your computer, you need to download this stand-alone application:

Download a tiny zipped configuration file:

UkrVO.zip

Unzip to Aladin directory downloaded file.
If you are on Windows platform, launch the following batch file:

UkrVO.bat

If you are on linux platform, launch the following command line:

java -Xmx512m -jar Aladin_6.jar -glufile="UkrVO.txt"

In a few seconds, you will see Aladin main window.
To search photo plates or CCD frames:
• press

File Open...


• select

Others... Photo plates of Ukrainian VO
Others... CCD observations of Ukrainian VO

on the left side of the Server selector;

Enter, for example, target coordinates and radius of search:

05:00:00.00 +05:00:00.0
5.0deg


• press Submit.

Found coordinate centres of plates or CCD frames will be shown in the main window. You may select:
• one plate by clicking a pointer in the main window;
• all found plates by pointing mouse over a stack plane on the right window, clicking the right mouse button and choosing

Select all objects...


• some plates in a user defined rectangular field by pressing the left mouse button and dragging a pointer to the desired direction and length in the main window.

You may find textual information about all selected objects in the bottom window.

You may open preview images of some plates and CCD frames by clicking

Load

button in the bottom window.
