Scientific paper
The Virtual Observatory is useful. I summarise some of my works where I extensively use the Aladin sky atlas. Topics cover from the search and common proper motion confirmation of very low-mass stars and brown dwarfs in wide (rho > 1000 AU) binaries and multiple systems, to the identification and characterisation of stellar and substellar populations in young open clusters and OB associations at heliocentric distances of up to 1000 pc. I present three practical examples of what one can do with Aladin in one morning: a fruitful proper-motion search of objects with available ugrizJHKs photometry, an analysis of the 21 cm radio sources towards the young sigma Orionis cluster, and a novel study of X-ray young stars surrounding Alnilam in the Orion Belt.

From 1000 AU to 1000 pc: high proper-motion stars in the solar neighbourhood, radio sources in the sigma Orionis cluster, and new X-ray stars surrounding Alnilam does not yet have a rating. At this time, there are no reviews or comments for this scientific paper.
If you have personal experience with From 1000 AU to 1000 pc: high proper-motion stars in the solar neighbourhood, radio sources in the sigma Orionis cluster, and new X-ray stars surrounding Alnilam, we encourage you to share that experience with our LandOfFree.com community. Your opinion is very important and From 1000 AU to 1000 pc: high proper-motion stars in the solar neighbourhood, radio sources in the sigma Orionis cluster, and new X-ray stars surrounding Alnilam will most certainly appreciate the feedback.
