The Chilean Virtual Observatory (CHIVO) is a VO developed in Chile and it is one of many VO projects currently underway in the world. It was born out of the need to archive data that require large storage capacities and the need to develop new tools for the analyzing large volumes of data and better algorithms for intelligent processing of astronomical data, this due to the volumes of large scale data that will generate the astronomical observatories in Chile, mainly the ALMA project that will generate over 1TB of data per day, and in this form be to able to store the data in the local territory to optimize the observation time of the chilean astronomers. Chivo is an initiative of the five most prestigious universities in the country, supported by the private institutions ALMA and REUNA. In addition of the use of the VO by scientists of astronomy area, the VO will be useful too for the students of schools, especially of schools of rural areas.

In addition to the services listed below, on this site you probably can access numerous tables using TAP or form-based ADQL.

  • ChiVO TAP service [Service information]
    The ChiVO's TAP end point. The Table Access Protocol (TAP) lets you execute queries against our database tables, inspect various metadata, and upload your own data. It is thus the VO's premier way to access public data holdings. Tables exposed through this endpoint include: alma_fits from the alma_fits schema, m83_obs from the m83_test1 schema, m83_obs from the m83_data schema, hd163296band6 from the hd163296band6 schema, columns, groups, key_columns, keys, schemas, tables from the tap_schema schema, main from the arihip schema, data from the openngc schema, emptyobscore, obscore from the ivoa schema.

  • GAIA Data Release 1 (DR1) main object table [Service information]
    This table, corresponding to gaia_source of the full DR1, contains the 1.15 billion objects reliably detected in the first 14 months of Gaia observations. It essentially consists of high-precision positions and magnitudes. The TGAS subset (about 2 million objects observed by both Gaia and Hipparcos) has proper motions and parallaxes. Users are advised to beware strong correlations between the astrometric parameters present for some of the less densely observed objects and the inhomogeneous coverage in this first data release (solution id: 1635378410781933568).

  • OpenNGC [Service information] [Use the service]
    OpenNGC is a database containing positions and main data of NGC (New General Catalogue) and IC (Index Catalogue) objects. It has been built by merging data from NED, HyperLEDA, SIMBAD, and several databases available at HEASARC. In this VO publication, we have changed most of the column names, mostly to make them work as ADQL column names without resorting to delimited identifiers. The mapping should be obvious.

  • Sample Image Access for ALMA FITS [Service information]
    The resource contains the recommendations and requirements for ALMA FITS products of the Inter-ARC ALMA Science Archive Working Group (ASAWG) with the view to including a metadataset that is complete and easily accessible by the ChiVO Data Provider (CDP).
