Summary of the Tutorial

In this use case, we explore different ways to do the same tasks with different VO tools. These tasks include:

  • obtaining data from the SDSS and 2MASS catalogues in a given sky region,
  • crossmatching the results of these searches,
  • filtering the resulting table for brown dwarfs, and
  • verifying our sample of brown dwarfs.

Software packages needed for this tutorial are Aladin, TOPCAT and STILTS.
