OVGSO

The OVGSO (Observatoire Virtuel du Grand Sud-Ouest) is one of the six french Astrophysical Data Center recognised by INSU (Institut National des Sciences de l’Univers) since 2013.

It aims at providing a common environment for all the Astrophysical researches, based on observed/theoretical/modelled data access and tools interoperability.

The OVGSO gathers five different themes:

• Sun-Earth (STORMS: Solar Terrestrial ObseRvations and Modeling Service, CLIMSO-DB: database of images from the CLIMSO coronagraphs at Pic du midi observatory in the Pyrénées)
• Planetary plasmas (CDPP: French national data centre for natural plasmas of the Solar System)
• Interstellar medium (CASSIS: free interactive spectrum analyser, CADE: Analysis Center for Extended Data, KIDA: database of kinetic data of interest for astro- chemical studies)
• Stellar spectra (PolarBase: database of high resolution spectropolarimetric stellar observations, Pollux: stellar spectra database proposing access to theoretical data)
• High energy astrophysics (XMM-SSC: XMM-Newton Survey Science Centre)
