Provenance of astronomical data
Mathieu Servillat
In the context of Open Science, provenance has become a decisive piece of information to provide along with astronomical data. Provenance is explicitly cited in the FAIR principles…
Demographics of the Galaxies Hosting Short-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
Wen-fai Fong, Edo Berger, Ryan Chornock +17
We present observations of the afterglows and host galaxies of three short-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs): 100625A, 101219A and 110112A. We find that GRB 100625A occurred in a z=…
Towards a Provenance Management System for Astronomical Observatories
Mathieu Servillat, François Bonnarel, Catherine Boisson +3
We present here a provenance management system adapted to astronomical projects needs. We collected use cases from various astronomy projects and defined a data model in the ecosys…
DASCH 100-yr light curves of high-mass X-ray binaries
Mathieu Servillat, S. Tang, J. E. Grindlay +1
We analyzed the 100-yr light curves of Galactic high-mass X-ray binaries using the Harvard photographic plate collection, made accessible through the DASCH project (Digital Access…
Herschel observations of dust around the high-mass X-ray binary GX 301-2
Mathieu Servillat, Alexis Coleiro, Sylvain Chaty +2
We aim at characterising the structure of the gas and dust around the high mass X-ray binary GX 301-2, a highly obscured X-ray binary hosting a hypergiant star and a neutron star,…
Open high-level data formats and software for gamma-ray astronomy
Christoph Deil, Catherine Boisson, Karl Kosack +22
In gamma-ray astronomy, a variety of data formats and proprietary software have been traditionally used, often developed for one specific mission or experiment. Especially for grou…
