Abstract

(Abstract only) The NASA Infrared Science Archive (IRSA) at Caltech is working with the AAVSO to bring the AAVSO variable star measurements on-line in a dynamically searchable DBMS front-ended by globally-accessible web services. The results of such a search can either be downloaded as text or displayed interactively in a JAVA plot Graphical User Interface (GUI). In addition, the system allows for area searches (finding all the AAVSO Sources in a region), the results of which can be sent to the Oasis JAVA-based GIS multi-archive data access and fusion system (usable through most Web browsers).
