Visualizing and Analyzing Massive Astronomical Datasets with Partiview
Abstract
Partiview is an advanced, real-time visualization tool for multi-dimensional datasets. Developed at NCSA, Partiview has cross-platform compatibility that allows its use in environments ranging from laptops to the 21-meter-diameter Hayden Planetarium dome, on scales varying from the solar neighborhood to large-scale structure. Current applications of Partiview include the simultaneous, fully interactive visualization of multiple datasets, including both observed and simulated data. The software is available at no cost from www.haydenplanetarium.org along with our Digital Universe data archive. A major priority of the ongoing development of Partiview is its integration as an analysis and visualization component of an International Virtual Observatory.
