for all known objects in the field.
The set
of sky images consists of the STScI Digital Sky Survey
(DSS-I and DSS-II), as well as an ensemble of higher
resolution images (ESO-R and SERC plates) digitized at the MAMA
facility in Paris.

PC's under WINDOW9x or WINDOWS NT systems. ADHOC is the
main software used by the Interferometric Group of Marseille's Observatory
to reduce the 3D data coming from Photon Counting or
CCD observations. It contains also general 2D modules useful for
simple imagery. ADHOC software has been designed in 1987 in
order to reduce data from the scanning Pérot-Fabry instrument CIGALE
built in Marseille's Observatory. Up to 1998, the successive versions
of ADHOC run on DOS operating systems. The new version
will offer also to reduce TIGER and PYTHEAS observational data.

Created in 1983, LEDA is the oldest Extragalactic Database. It
gives more than 60 of the most important parameters for
about one million galaxies. It provides charts and images through
a Web interface. In addition, a batch mode is available
and also a very powerful SQL-like query language.

Object Language for Numerical Relativity
(LORENE)
-
Langage Objet pour la RElativité NumériquE is a set of
C++ classes to solve various problems arising in numerical relativity,
and more generally in computational astrophysics. It provides tools to
solve partial differential equations by means of multi-domain spectral methods.
LORENE classes implement basic structures such as arrays and matrices,
but also abstract mathematical objects, such as tensors, and astrophysical
objects, such as stars and black holes. LORENE is a
free software under the GNU General Public License. It has
been developed in the Meudon section of Paris Observatory, mostly
by Eric Gourgoulhon, Philippe Grandclément, Jean-Alain Marck, Jérôme Novak and
Keisuke Taniguchi.

Pierre Auger Obsevatory
-
The Auger Observatory is designed to detect and study cosmic
rays around and above the GZK cutoff, i.e. at energies
exceeding 1019 eV, with an unprecented quality and precision. Within
our present knowledge, there is no standard explanation to the
production and acceleration of any particle in the universe at
such macroscopic energies. The Auger project is therefore the only
answer the scientific community can propose to solve an astrophysical
puzzle of more than 30 years. The Observatory is now
under construction since 2001.

The PLANET collaboration is a worldwide network of astronomers with
access to Dutch, South African, and Australian telescopes. The primary
goal of PLANET is the study of microlensing anomalies (departures
from an achromatic point-source, point-lens light curve) through multi-band, rapidly-sampled
photometry. An ultimate goal is to place constraints on the
number and distribution of planets around other stars.
