Archives of Photographic PLates for Astronomical USE
收藏资源简介:
The Plate Archive (APPLAUSE) is a digital repository of historical astronomical photographic plates and associated metadata from multiple observatories, preserved and scanned at high resolution for scientific use. It includes images of the original plates, observation logbooks, and extracted astrometric and photometric data, enabling long-term studies of celestial objects and light curves. The project integrates this archival material into modern astronomical research frameworks, such as the International Virtual Observatory, making these century-old observations accessible for analysis today.
天文照相底片数字档案库(APPLAUSE)是一座服务于科学研究的数字存储库,馆藏多座天文台的历史天文照相底片及相关元数据,所有资料均按高分辨率标准完成保存与扫描。该档案库包含原始底片图像、观测日志,以及提取得到的天体测量(astrometric)与测光(photometric)数据,可支撑对各类天体及光变曲线的长期研究。本项目将这类档案资料整合至现代天文研究框架之中,例如国际虚拟天文台(International Virtual Observatory),使这些拥有百年历史的观测资料如今可被用于各类分析研究。
