Debian Astro Java packages

ADQL is a SQL-like language which includes astronomical facilities to query a database. This language has been defined by the IVOA in the Recommendation of 30 Oct 2008 (Version 2.0) and is mainly used in the Table Access Protocol (TAP).

Functionalities of the package:

• Parse: read ADQL queries in text and transform them into a Java object (actually, a syntactic tree).
• Manipulate: the generated object can be manipulated so than modifying the original query.
• Translate: an interface and some implementations lets translating SQL into other languages like SQL.

The JEL library enables users to enter algebraic expressions into their program. Since JEL converts expressions directly into Java bytecode, it significantly speeds up their evaluation time. If the user's Java virtual machine has a JIT compiler, expressions are transparently compiled into native machine code.

JEL may be a very useful tool for a variety of applications in science involving user-defined functions, e.g. to create plots, to apply fits to a data set and to solve integrals or differential equations. Another relevant use case for JEL is given by algebraic operations between two or more columns of a database table.

MOC allows you to describe any region of the sky for very fast comparisons. It is based on HEALPix standard. This Java library enables users to load, write and manipulate MOCs (intersection, union, ...). MOCs can be displayed by the Virtual Observatory application "Aladin".

FITS (Flexible Image Transport System) is the standard data format in astronomy used for the transport, analysis, and archival storage of scientific data sets.

This library provides efficient I/O for FITS images and binary tables. All basic FITS formats and gzip compressed files are supported.

Classes related to persistent connections to remote services. Currently the main service provided by the connections defined here is access to some kind of filesystem which is modelled as a simple tree structure library, implemented in pure Java. Connection implementations are supplied by classes in other packages

Classes for general FITS handling, including NDX, NDArray and StarTable implementations.

Some of these classes use the nom.tam.fits package (libfits-java) for low-level FITS access, though several of them do most of the handling in customised ways themselves for efficiency reasons.

This package provides a set of classes which can be used to make lightweight queries of an RI 1.0-compliant IVOA registry. In the Virtual Observatory (VO), registries provide a means for discovering useful resources, i.e., data and services. Individual publishers offer the descriptions for their resources ("resource records") in publishing registries.

This is not an all-singing or all-dancing registry client. The focus is on something which does a limited job fast and in a small memory footprint.

This package provides the necessary infrastructure for writing tasks that do things for users, along the same lines as ADAM A-tasks.

At the moment all the necessary machinery is provided for invoking tasks from the command line in a way that looks ADAM-like, but it is designed so that, for instance, a GUI-style invoker could be written to invoke the same tasks.

The VOTable format is an XML standard for the interchange of data represented as a set of tables. In this context, a table is an unordered set of rows, each of a uniform structure, as specified in the table description (the table metadata). VOTable was designed to be close to the FITS Binary Table format.

CASSIS (Centre d'Analyse Scientifique de Spectres Infrarouges et Submillimetriques), is suited for broad-band spectral surveys to speed up the scientific analysis of high spectral resolution observations. It uses a local spectroscopic database made of the two molecular spectroscopic databases JPL and CDMS, as well as the atomic spectroscopic database NIST. Its tools include a LTE model and the RADEX model connected to the LAMDA molecular collisional database. CASSIS can build a line list fitting the various transitions of a given species and to directly produce rotational diagrams from these lists. CASSIS is fully integrated intoHIPE, the Herschel Interactive Processing Environment, as a plug-in.

This is the Java package.
