Abstract / Description of output
Synoptic data is becoming an increasingly important requirement for
modern surveys. Increases in detector size, data processing, and storage
make it feasible to survey large areas of sky repeatedly to find
variable and moving objects, such as extra-solar planetary systems,
supernovae, solar-system objects and variable stars. Here we present the
data model that we will use for synoptic data in the WSA/VSA. We show
how this model can be applied to the data to select interesting variable
and non-variable stars. We will review some of the different synoptic
data available in the WSA, and likely data in the VISTA public surveys
from the proposals so far, and how these can best be handled.
