All last new events (e.g. new feature, new data, bug correction) in MP3C Services.
This is the complete released v2.0 version ready to go in production.
New table release of asteroid masses which contains values that were obtained with different methods. In parallel the release of the "Search by: Best Values” tool, which can returns to the user our adopted value for each parameter and each asteroid, according to our choice (which is described in the paper by Delbo, Avedllidou and Morbdielli A&A 2019).
Following the release of MP3C v2.0 earlier this year, we have been working on its Web interface, to offer a clearer view on the different Services we propose.
Thanks to the help of the Gaia VO group at ARI, Heidelberg, we have entirely restructured the Web interface of MP3C, which we hope will help you in finding the service(s) that best suits your needs: the Search by Name, the Search by Properties, the TAP Services.
We are proud the announce the release of the second major version of MP3C. The entire database and engine have been rewritten, and the data have been updated. The Web interface has also been changed, to offer more services.
Starting from this version, we offer several access to the MP3C: for a single object, with Web forms, and also using VO TAP protocol. Results are all provided in VOTable.
We list here all the data sets included in MP3C, and complete details and bibliography are available in the Data & Statistics page.
On the web page of the Cone Search Service, an estimation of the query result size (in sources and bytes) is now proposed when setting the cone parameters in the form.
The first number gives the maximum number of sources that can be returned by the Cone Search query. The second value is the estimated size of the resulting VOTable based on the maximum number of sources.
The color of the estimated size may change: orange for GiB, red for TiB and grey otherwise.
Besides, if the estimated size is bigger than the limit of the Cone Search service, then a red OVERFLOW label is displayed. Thus, you will know that if you run the Cone Search query, the result will probably be truncated. Then, you should probably choose a smaller radius or decrease the verbosity flag (i.e. the number of columns you want to get).
From the Gaia DR1, the ARI's TAP service has a special resource providing a list of query examples. This list is visible and usable in TOPCAT as described in the help page: "How to get ADQL examples in TOPCAT?" .
is developed together with a derived command line tool of the same author: STILTS . Thanks to this tool, you can easily reproduce queries, crossmatches, plots and anything you do in TOPCAT with just a single script file.
So, now, all examples provided by the TAP service are now associated with a STILTS script that you can download, and execute in order to easily and quickly reproduce the example and its figure(s). Do not hesitate to take inspiration from these scripts to fulfill your own use-cases.
The full Gaia DR1 is now available on ARI's Gaia Services.
On this website you can get all information about the content of this release. All of the eight tables are described in details on Data & Statistics. In addition of a detailed textual description, you will find statistics and sky-maps for all numerical columns of all available tables.
To query these data, the ARI provides three services:
The TAP Web interface has now a new feature: the ability to upload one or several table when submitting an ADQL query.
However, there are some limitations you should be aware of:
The rehearsal Gaia data for the first release are now accessible through the ARI's Gaia services. These data are simulated just for test purpose. Thus, you can see how services provided by ARI work and how you could use them for your own scientific purpose.
