Brown dwarf projects at the Spanish VO
Abstract
This paper elaborates on a talk presented at the workshop "Astronomical Spectroscopy and the Virtual Observatory" sponsored by the EuroVO Data Centre Alliance (http://cds.u-strasbg.fr/twikiDCA/bin/view/EuroVODCA/WebHome/). We present several projects that are being carried out in the framework of the Spanish Virtual Observatory Thematic Network, an initiative that aims to coordinate the VO activities of the Spanish astronomical community. First, we are working towards making the IAC catalogue of ultracool dwarfs compliant with VO standards. Second, we are developing projects of searching for brown dwarfs by cross correlations of large databases (DENIS, IPHAS, SDSS, 2MASS). We explain the motivation and work method, and show initial results from these programs.
