TL;DR
This paper introduces a user-friendly web interface for the Virtual Observatory of the University of Guanajuato, enabling public access to astronomical data and a new front end for the STARLIGHT spectral fitting code.
Contribution
It develops the first accessible web interface for the university's Virtual Observatory and a preliminary web front end for the STARLIGHT spectral synthesis tool.
Findings
Accessible data tables via PHP and SQL databases.
Preliminary web front end for STARLIGHT implemented.
Enhanced user flexibility in spectral fitting.
Abstract
We present the first attempts to build a user-friendly interface for the Virtual Observatory of the University of Guanajuato. The data tables will be accessible to the public through PHP scripts and SQL database managers, such as MySQL and PostgreSQL, all administrated through phpMyAdmin and pgMyAdmin. Although it is not made public yet, this interface will be the basis upon which the final front end for our VO will be built. Furthermore, we present a preliminary version of a web front end to the publicly available stellar population synthesis code STARLIGHT (starlight.ufsc.br) which will be made available with our VO. This front end aims to provide an easy and flexible access to the code itself, letting users fit their own observed spectra with their preferred combination of physical and technical parameters, rather than making available only the results of fitting a specific sample of…
