Message-ID: <4EBAB486.70900@astro.unistra.fr> Dear all, STC-S regions in SIAP query response are becoming more and more common, and I'd like to take advantage of this information to display the FoV of the image in Aladin. As you know, I am a lazy guy and was wondering if someone had already developed an STC-S parser (ideally in Java, but another language would be fine).

I will probably separate it from cadcTAP so it can be built as a small jar by itself. I was planning that sometime in the next month or so (when I refactor the module) but if it helps I can do it next week to make it easier for you to just check out and use the stc code. It is just the classes in the ca.nrc.cadc.stc package and very simple, but it can read and write STC-S. IIRC, the STC class has static method(s) to parse and format. Let me know if you have any questions. -- Patrick Dowler Tel/T?l: (250) 363-0044 Canadian Astronomy Data Centre National Research Council Canada 5071 West Saanich Road Victoria, BC V9E 2M7 Centre canadien de donnees astronomiques Conseil national de recherches Canada 5071, chemin West Saanich Victoria (C.-B.)

The AST library can read STC-S and create objects from them that can be used in all sorts of ways. AST is written in C but Mark Taylor has written a JNI interface for it (JNIAST). See http://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/starlink/AST for general info on AST and http://starlink.jach.hawaii.edu/starlink/AST#stcdemo for specifics about the STC-S support.

Having said that, I think JNIAST does not currently include a wrapper for the relevant clas in AST (StcsChan) class. Let me know if it is something you may be interested in using, and I'll update JNIAST (Mark is busy with other things).

This new tool allows one to cross-identify sources coming from two tables. Available tables include 9000+ VizieR tables with positions, SIMBAD data and user-uploaded (VO)tables. Cross-match is performed either on the basis of the positions, or taking into account the error ellipses of the sources. Focus has been put on the performances of large-scale cross-match. For instance, it takes less than 30 seconds to cross-match a list of 50,000 positions with the NOMAD catalogue. Connect to http://cdsxmatch.u-strasbg.fr to use this service. The associated documentation is available at http://cdsxmatch.u-strasbg.fr/xmatch/doc/ Cheers, Thomas
