Scientific paper

We present a new feature in progress in ALADIN software : an interactive sky browser. The aim is to give a way to browse the sky as easily as outreach softwares can do, but geared for astronomers. The user can visualize a wide field and move seamlessly on the whole sky. This navigation mode will be available for some ALADIN archive surveys, the needed images are automatically downloaded by the ALADIN client. The images for such a view have been preprocessed using the HEALPix scheme, providing a multiresolution pixelization. Usual ALADIN features (overlay of catalogs or images) remain available in this visualization mode.
