Japanese Virtual Observatory (JVO)
National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ)

We present two demos which show the current status on construction of Virtual Observatory in NAOJ.
The first program demonstrates a system which federates the distributed database system using the GRID
technology. The second one demonstrates a scientific case of searching for gravitationally lensed system
using the Subaru-XMM Deep Survey (SXDS) data.
Demo 1: GRID-based database federation
Main Control Window
Column attributes are shown
by pushing the “column_info”
button, where you can also
control the column layout.
Open JVO QL Editor
Write JVO SQL here
The query result is shown up in a result page,
which is a kind of VOTable viewer and provides
an easy access to both the table and image data.
For graphical viewing of the table data, plotting
tool is available. You can specify any column or
expression for X/Y axis.
Demo 2: Scientific Scenario
Gravitational Lens Search
The current JVO prototype can communicates with four
distributed database, “Subaru Deep Field i’-band” (SDF-i’),
SDF-z’, “Subaru XMM Deep Survey” (SXDS), and 2MASS.
A main control window provides you to specify a query in
JVO Query Language. You can save/load the QL in a file with the Export/Import button. A QL editor is opened
by pushing the editor button and provides an easy way to specify search conditions.
This program demonstrates a scientific use-case of an Japanese Virtual Observatory. In this demo
Gravitation Lens systems are searched by selecting a pair of two objects which are closely located and have
similar colors. The corresponding images are also retrieved, so you can check the morphology of the objects.
Color map is constructed from the images taken at three bands (B, R, z’) to visualize the color type of
surrounding objects, which helps to find a multiple lens system . A Color-Color and a SED plot are also drawn,
which help to reject a possible stellar binary which locates at “stellar locus” in the Color-Color plot.
The JVO system splits the user input query into pieces of queries for each database, then issues search
commands to appropriate servers through a “globus-job-submit” command of Globus Toolkit.
This example shows a demo doing a cross-matching search between the two databases SDF-i’ and SDF-z’.
At first a search command is issued to the SDF-i’ database server, mizu-g, then the result is transferred to the
SDF-z’ database server, minazuki-g, where cross-matching search is executed. Image requests are issued at
the last two steps.The query results are transferred through GridFTP in a VOTable format for table data and in
FITS for image data.
On “JVO Query Language Editor” (shown at left button of this poster), you can specify criteria such as
separation angle of two objects, brightness similarity, color similarity, and parameter range.
On “Query Result” page, you can check the selected images and colors visually. You can also download
the FITS image for more precise examination. The order of the record can be sorted with values of any
column.
Pushing the “Catalog All” button opens a new window “Table
Selection” which shows a list of database accessible from the
editor.
Sort with a separation angle
Checking a catalog and pushing the “selected_table” button,
a list of tables included in the database are shown in the same
window. SXDS database consist of 20 object-list tables and
image meta data tables.
Pushing the “column_save”
button, the editor is updated
such that you can set restriction
parameters for the selected
columns.
This field sets a restriction for
a color of R-B
0.0
0.3
In this example, to
search for a distant and
point-like object,
restrictions on the
ellipticity and star
parameter calculated by
Sextractor is set to
0.0~0.3 and 0.7~1.0,
respectively .
A list of columns of the selected table
are shown in the column-list window as
below, where you can chose the
columns you want to use for a search.
You can enlarge the image appearance by
changing image size here.
The above three pictures shows
images around the selected
objects at B, R and z’-bands from
left to right, respectively. The left
picture is a color image which is
a compound of the three bands
images. Below are the color-color
and SED plot.
