1 WP5 service activities for higher education and outreach Massimo Ramella (INAF-OATs) Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

2 AIDA WP5 Objectives Provide tools for access to VO data for higher education students, for middle school teachers and students, and for amateur astronomers Provide some basic information on the main classes of objects available to our public within the Euro VO database. Offer to students a glimpse of the professional world of astronomers without the burden of a too steep learning curve. Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

3 Phase A 1.Requirements and choice of outreach interfaces 2.Production and/or modification of existing software 3.Translation of outreach interfaces 4.Basic documentation with some examples Phase B 1.Identify testers and design appealing projects for them 2.Test Interface 3.Gather, translate and organize feed-back for interface revisions Phase C 1.Produce documents (userguide, primer, examples, basic script library...) 2.Produce basic outreach content for interface and dedicated web-site 3.Distribute and promote the use of our outreach products The work plan Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella Cycle 1 (students main target, WP5 persons present in class) Test Interface Cycle 2 (main goal: teachers self-sufficiency)

4 WP5 STATUS SOFTWARE: ONLY FEW MINOR REVISIONS USE CASES: LIBRARY OK AND GROWING (10 AVAILABLE) TRANSLATIONS: PROGRESS, BUT MORE WORK NEEDEDTRANSLATIONS WEBSITE: READY Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella

5 WP5 DIFFUSION VO-Day in tour WP5 Web Site Fifth EuroVO Technology Forum, March 16-18, Heidelberg Massimo Ramella workshops,conferences,other initiatives

6 sn in M47 V = 1500 km/s angle = 2.7’ Observed year 2000 Exploded year 1054

7 2,7’ R D

8 time between observation and explosion: 2000 – 1054 = 946 years = 30 billions sec after 1000yrs the SNR has the radius: radius = speed’ x time from explosion R = 1500 x 30 10 9 km = 4.5 10 13 km distance of the supernova: D = R / angle (radians) = 2 kpc D = 6500 light years
