VESPA / Europlanet-2020-RI - Science themes
This is a legacy page from the Europlanet-2020 programme (2015-2019). Please refer to this site for the current Europlanet-2024 programme.
VESPA developments are supported by 6 science themes. Their role is to study possible Virtual Observatory functions in specific contexts, to design new workflows to support science analysis, and to prepare new data services.
| Science themes | |
|---|---|
| SSHADE | Spectroscopy of solids (ice, minerals, organics) |
| Planetary surfaces | Will study interfaces between the VO and Geographic Information Systems, and fits format extension to handle planetary surfaces |
| Magnetospheres | Will focus on data services for observations and modeling, in particular multi-spacecraft observations |
| Small bodies | Will study a modern interface to the catalogue of small bodies, and a tool to set up multi-site observations (e.g., for star occultations) |
| Planetary atmospheres | Will focus on data services for observations and modeling, and link with spectroscopy databases |
| Exoplanets | Will develop the Encyclopedia of Exoplanets and study connections with other services in the field |

The Europlanet 2024 Research Infrastructure project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 871149.
The Europlanet 2020 Research Infrastructure project has received funding from the European Union's Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 654208.
This work used the EGI Infrastructure with the dedicated support of IN2P3-IRES and CESNET-MCC.
VESPA has first been designed in the frame of Europlanet-RI JRA4 work package (IDIS activity).
Additional funding was provided in France by the Action Spécifique Observatoire Virtuel and Programme National de Planétologie / INSU.
