Table information for 'lsw.bibliography'

General

Table Description:

Where people tell us about them, we will have pairs of bibliographic identifiers and plate ids in this table. This has been created as a proving ground for https://www.ivoa.net/documents/BibVO, and at least early data in here may not exactly match the intentions of the authors for the cited papers.

This table is not available for ADQL queries and through the TAP endpoint.

Resource Description: Scans of plates kept at Landessternwarte Heidelberg-Königstuhl. They were obtained at location, at the German-Spanish Astronomical Center (Calar Alto Observatory), Spain, and at La Silla, Chile. The plates cover a time span between 1880 and 1999. Specifically, HDAP is essentially complete for the plates taken with the Bruce telescope, the Walz reflector, and Wolf's Doppelastrograph at both the original location in Heidelberg and its later home on Königstuhl.

Resource Documentation

The scanning of the plate archive at Landessternwarte Heidelberg was initiated by Holger Mandel and Kurt Birkle in 2006 and was funded by the Klaus-Tschira-Foundation. Almost all usable direct plates in the archives are now scanned, and the funded phase of the project is over. Only minor additions are expected any more.

Trivia

This is what the photographic plates these scans were prepared from look like --

The archive of plates from Wolf's eight-inch telescope --

The Bruce archive -- the rack's bend indicates the plates are kept beneath an observatory dome --

The scanner used by this project (Heidelberg Nexscan F4100; the resolution is 100 pixels per millimeter at 200 pixels per millimeter optical scanner resolution) --
