MOVOIR: Modular VO Interface for Radioastronomy
We are working on the development of user-friendly tools for radio archives data-mining and remote processing and analysis. So far the only existing tools are those for optical data (Aladin, VOSpec, SpecView…), and existing VO compliant protocols are SIAP and SSAP are also optically oriented. Thus, there is a need in the community for the development of such tools, specifically designed for radio data products. We have developed a Modular VO Interface for Radioastronomy (MOVOIR) which provides both a GUI for accessing the VO, and tools for adapting legacy software to use VO protocols. We have used the MOVOIR as the basis for bringing the massa
and madcuba
legacy applications into the VO.
