Description

The Virtual Observatory (VO) is a set of APIs to find, access, and use astronomical data. If you have ever used TOPCAT or Aladin, you probably have used the VO, too. But since it is APIs, a natural place to deal with them is a library, and pyVO is one such library for python. In this tutorial, we will explore data discovery and TAP queries from pyVO, going from catalogues to images.
