1. I suggest we rename em from "electromagnetic spectrum" to "emission"
and add
em.grav-wave (gravitational wave)
em.neutrino (neutrino)
Alternatively, add
phys.grav-wave (gravitational wave)
phys.particle (particle emission)
phys.particle.cosmic-ray
phys.particle.neutrino
...?
2. I suggest we add UCD's for describing calibration observations.
Presently, they are
few mentions of calibrations at all in the official list:
instr.calib (calibration parameter)
phot.calib (photometric calibration)
and they are sorely needed for things like VOEvent and RTML.
It's trivial to say that there's a big different between calibrations
(see above) and calibration
observations, so new UCD's are needed and it seems the likely
candidates would be:
obs.calib (calibration observation)
obs.calib.dome-flat (dome-flat observation)
obs.calib.flux (flux calibration observation)
obs.calib.freq (frequency calibration observation)
obs.calib.guide-star (guide-star observation, e.g. for intial setup)
obs.calib.phot (photometric calibration observation)
obs.calib.pos (astrometric calibration observation
obs.calib.sky-flat (sky-flat observation)
obs.calib.slit-mask (slit-mask calibration observation)
obs.calib.spect (spectral type calibration observation)
obs.calib.veloc (radial velocity calibration observation, e.g.
standard star)
obs.calib.wl (wavelength calibration observation)
For completeness, one should then also add
phot.calib.flux (photometric flux calibration)
phot.calib.mag (photometric magnitude calibration)
pos.calib (astrometric calibration)
spect.calib (spectroscopic calibration)
spect.calib.wl (" " in wavelength)
spect.calib.freq (" " in frequency)
3. Suggested addition to spect (Spectroscopy)
spect.cont (spectral continuum)
We already have spect.line.
