NVO Enters Its Operational NVO Enters Its Operational PhasePhase

The First Five Years: Develop Infrastructure– Basic Organizational Structure– Establish Collaborations– Develop Software Infrastructure (A Very Large

Task)– Expose Astronomers to the Concept– Develop Some Astronomical Tools

Goal: Simple, Readily Used

NVO and The “Two Cultures” NVO and The “Two Cultures” ProblemProblem

First Five Years – Infrastructure– Strong Emphasis on Software Development– Strong Emphasis on IT Approach– NVO as a “Software Sandbox”

Do It Because “It’s Cool”

But – The Goal of the NVO Is Enabling Science Not Developing Software– First Step: Acceptance by Community

Some Requirements for Some Requirements for Community AcceptanceCommunity Acceptance

Most Astronomers DO NOT:– Understand Java– Understand HTML/XML– Care About Elegant Code– Often Use SQL

Most Astronomers DO– Want the Fastest, Easiest Way to Do Their Science

Some Requirements for Some Requirements for Community AcceptanceCommunity Acceptance

Ease of Access– No Jargon, No TLA’s– “What’s a ‘Registry’”?

Data– Ease of Access– Multi-Wavelength– Catalogs, Images, Spectra, Time Series– Ability to Combine and Analyse

Page 7: 1 Science and the NVO – Overview and Discussion Dave De Young NVO Project Scientist NOAO NVOSS Aspen September 2006

Some Requirements for Some Requirements for Community AcceptanceCommunity Acceptance

Tools– Simple, Useful– “90-10” Rule– Majority of Astronomers: Observers, Optical,

Stellar Astronomy– Role of Power Users

– Small Numbers, Big Projects, High Visibility

Services– Easy to Use, Relevant, Reliable

NVO Science – New NVO Science – New CapabilitiesCapabilities

Large Scale Surveys: 1 – 10 Tb New Facilities: ~ 10 Tb/day High Bandwidth Data Transmission All Imply a New Paradigm for Research

– Cross Match of 1 – 10 Million Objects– New Patterns in Statistics– New Relations; Unseen Physical Processes– Serendipity

NVO Science – Some NVO Science – Some ExamplesExamples

Radio-Loud AGN in the SDSS• Best et al. 2005

– Cross Match SDSS DR2, NVSS, FIRST– SDSS Spectral Data– 2712 Radio Galaxies– Radio Emission Due to

AGN vs Star Bursts

NVO Science – Some NVO Science – Some ExamplesExamples

Is There an AGN – Starburst Connection?• (Heckman et al.2006)

– Does a Common Accretion Torus Produce Both?– Both Phenomena Produce X-rays– Cross Correlate 80,000 X-ray Sources with >

500,000 Galaxies (with z) From SDSS DR4– Look for Common Hosts– Look for Evolution with Redshift

NVO Science – Some NVO Science – Some ExamplesExamples

Detecting Embedded Intermediate Mass Stars• (Kerton et al. 2006)

– Star of 5-10 Mo – At Boundary Between Solar Type and Very Massive Stars

Hence Crossover of Different Physical Processes

– Young B Stars Buried in Molecular Clouds– Radio + mm Spectral Line Surveys + 2MASS, IRAS – Data Cube Analysis (x-y-)

Page 12: 1 Science and the NVO – Overview and Discussion Dave De Young NVO Project Scientist NOAO NVOSS Aspen September 2006

NVO Science – Some NVO Science – Some ExamplesExamples

Merging Galaxies• (Allam et al. 2006)

– Galaxy Mergers: Create Starbursts, Form Central CD’s in Clusters, Feed AGN, Produce ULIRGS….

– Optical (SDSS) Surveys Bias toward High SFR– IR Traces Mass Distribution (Red Stars)– Search 2MASS XSC (1.6M Galaxies)

Expect ~ 30,000 Merging Pairs

– Do Multi Wavelength Followup

NVO Science: Integration of NVO Science: Integration of Theory and ObservationsTheory and Observations

Why Theory– Basic to Scientific Inquiry

Why NVO Theory– Large Scale Theory Simulations: 10’s of

TB and Rising– “Virtual Telescope/Instrument” Projects

NVO Science: Integration of NVO Science: Integration of Theory and ObservationsTheory and Observations

Goal: Translate Theory Results to Observational Parameters

Cross Match Theory “Surveys” and Observational Surveys

Interaction: Direct New Observations

Direct New Theory Work
