The VESPA team has collected a set of tutorials covering several aspects of planetary sciences: Atmospheres, Surfaces, Magnetospheres, etc. These tutorials are provided as text (Markdown, pdf) or video.
- Installing an EPN-TAP service - broadlines
- VESPA portal walkaround
- Setting up VO tools for planetary context
- EPN-TAP services: Using TopCat as a client
- Using EPN-TAP as a service API via python (Encyclopedia of exoplanets)
- Accessing metadata and data of a public EPN-TAP service from Jupyter notebook (VIRTIS-VEx)
- Accessing metadata and data of a private EPN-TAP service from Jupyter notebook (VIRTIS-VEx)
- Sending an EPN-TAP query to all EPN-TAP services in python, and retrieving cumulative results
- Cross-matching services: spectra of TNOs
- Looking for and plotting Titan atmospheric profiles
- Walkaround VIRTIS-Venus-Express
- Comparing vertical profiles in the atmosphere of Mars (SPICAM_vs_MCD)
- Matisse used with VIRTIS-VEx
- Mapping sparse spatial data with TOPCAT
- Several use cases on planetary surfaces with Aladin & TOPCAT
- Lunar craters with TOPCAT and Aladin
- CRISM cubes in TOPCAT and Aladin
- Using QGIS plugin to obtain vector data from VO and place into QGIS
- Identifying overlapping images in different services (HRSC vs OMEGA vs SPICAM)
- Mars body-fixed frame and representation conversions (Jupyter notebook)
- Planetary images WCS manipulations (Jupyter notebook)
- Exploring Exoplanets
- Plotting exoplanets with TOPCAT and Aladin -- simple plots
- Plotting exoplanets with TOPCAT and Aladin -- advanced plots
- APIS - Auroral Planetary Images and Spectra
- Cassini Titan fly-by
- Connection of Helio Tools, AMDA & 3DView: CME impact on Venus and Earth
- Mars Global Surveyor plasma data compared with models
- ExPRES/MASER modelling of radio emissions
- Magnetodisc modelling
- CASSIS as a spectroscopy tool for VESPA
- Accessing spectral data
- Cross-matching services: spectra of TNOs
- Astropy procedures with planetary coordinates
- Manipulating fireball network data (Jupyter notebook)
- Retrieving files under datalink using TOPCAT
- Video tutorials These videos are legacy material from the FP7 Europlanet-RI programme (2009-2012). Most of them are outdated - the VESPA portal interface in particular has evolved significantly, and additional functions are now available in tools such as Aladin and TOPCAT.
