Updated: XMM-Newton Archive InterOperability SIAP compatible version

[posuna at iso.vilspa.esa.es]

Dear all,

it looks like the first link in our previous e-mail about the XMM-Newton
AIO system was creating some misunderstandings as it was a generic URL
describing the main AIO syntax rather than a real working URL.

Please discard previous mail and read this one instead.

Apologies for any confusions this may have caused.

Best regards,
P&J

Dear IVOA people,


  we have finished adapting our XMM-Newton Archive Interoperability
  package to be SIAP compatible.

  You can find an example at:

 http://xsa.vilspa.esa.es:8080/aio/jsp/siap.jsp?POS=0.7,41.2&FORMAT=HTML

  Below follows a brief description on more typical examples of queries
  to the  XMM-Newton AIO system. A more detailed pdf document is
  attached with  description of the examples and output results (see
  chapter 4 for the  SIAP compliant part of the system).


  We will give a demo in the next ADASS at Strasbourg for the XMM-Newton
  and the ISO Archive Interoperability packages (the latter one already
  developed and in internal test-review phase).


  Your comments/suggestions are most welcome. We wait for your news to
  improve the system.

  Best regards,

  Pedro Osuna & Jesus Salgado

  Examples of use of the SIAP compatible part of the XMM-Newton Archive
  Interoperability System
  =====================================================================

  Note: We have included a FORMAT=HTML parameter input to be able to
  display the results in a "human-understandable" way, as we
  didn't find any VOTable viewer that could display links. We would be
  very happy to hear from any of you that has used a VOTable capable
  viewer that can display links (we tried with a couple of them but
  didn't succeed in representing the data, only in the parsing...).


  1) Cone search for a region in the sky (in html format)

 
http://xsa.vilspa.esa.es:8080/aio/jsp/siap.jsp?POS=0.7,41.2&FORMAT=HTML

  (will give result in HTML format; with no "FORMAT" input, the result
  will be the default in SIAP, i.e., VOTable).

  2) Box search in RA and DEC

http://xsa.vilspa.esa.es:8080/aio/jsp/siap.jsp?POS_EQ_RA_MAIN>0.6&POS_EQ_RA_MAIN<1.0&POS_EQ_DEC_MAIN>41.0&POS_EQ_DEC_MAIN<42.0&FORMAT=HTML


  3) BOX searches in other parameters

  Parameters like the revolution number can be used as delimiters in box
  searches:

http://xsa.vilspa.esa.es:8080/aio/jsp/siap.jsp?REVNO>200&REVNO<210&FORMAT=HTML


  4) Target searches can be done that will be resolved by SIMBAD
