VOSA: VO Sed Analyzer

VOSA

VOSA (VO Sed Analyzer) is a tool designed to perform the following tasks in an automatic manner:

Read user photometry-tables.
Query several photometrical catalogs accessible through VO services (increases the wavelength coverage of the data to be analyzed).
Query VO-compliant theoretical models (spectra) and calculate their synthetic photometry.
Perform a statistical test to determine which model reproduces best the observed data.
Use the best-fit model as the source of a bolometric correction.
Provide the estimated bolometric luminosity for each source.
Generate a Hertzsprung-Russel diagram with the estimated parameters.
Provide an estimation of the mass and age of each source

You need a username and password to use the application because it keeps a number of files and database entries with your results and we need to be able to identify which results belong to each user so that you can recover them in future sessions.
