| JUDO and UDON --- JAXA's web-tools for browsing and quick-analysis of space astronomical data | |
| Ken Ebisawa | JAXA/ISAS |
| JUDO (JAXA Universe Data Oriented) and UDON (Universe via DARTS ON-line) are parts of DARTS (DATA Archives and Transmission System; http://darts.isas.jaxa.jp), which is JAXA′s space science data archives. Using JUDO, you can navigate or rotate the entire sky with simple mouse interface to search for your favorite targets, regions or observations. Currently, we have Suzaku, ASCA, ROSAT (X-rays) and IRAS (infrared) data available on JUDO. From JUDO, external database such as SIMBAD, NED, ADS and SDSS are hyper-linked so that you can find external-references for the targets you are browsing on JUDO. Using UDON, you can display pseudo-color images of X-ray data (currently, Suzaku data is available) with arbitrary color-coding. You may select the region of interests, and extract light-curves and spectra from the region you specified. JUDO and UDON are dynamically linked within DARTS, in particular with Suzaku database, so that Suzaku archive users can easily find the desirable data, look into related external databases, and carry out simple data analysis. | |

| Nature Museum Hokkaido The project based on digital cameras which shoot starry sky with hi-resolution images and also remote controllable from the Internet | |
| ken sakuma | Hokkaido Telecommunication Network Co.,Inc. |
| We have established a promotion web site called Nature Museum Hokkaido (NMH) to promote starry sky which is a new attractive content of Hokkaido. It also accumulates and promotes other attractive contents and information from Hokkaido. The NMH will enable contents holder to distribute their contents easily. The project is founded from Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications (MIC), and undertaken by private companies. It is a demonstration experiment of service model which accelerate local information transmission capability. Also, accumulated contents will be distributed to the whole of country. The system The NMH is made up with distributed digital cameras (up to 8) connected to. Those cameras shoot starry sky with hi-resolution images and also remote controllable from the Internet. Images from the cameras are transferred to the database system. At the database those images are archived with additional information such as location, date, time and weather to make the database more useful. Purpose of the NMH Archived images and other information are distributed to the public via NMH web site. It will be used for tourist information, academic use, and astronomical outreach activities. | |
