Photographic Plates: Data Processing

Scientific paper

There are a number of motivations for scanning and cataloguing photographic plates: first of all, the release of a 2-billion-object catalogue would generate uncountable science and missionsupport projects which would be more than welcome for HST and future space missions as well as ground-based telescopes. The significance of this project has already been acknowledged with the formation of an international consortium to proceed with its construction with currently available resources. These partners include STScI, CRA (Osservatorio di Torino), ESO and GEMINI. Additional support for the digitisation of the plates (DSS-II) is also being received from ESO, CDS, CADC, NAOJ and the AAO.
