  APIS/HST data collection
  The APIS primary database consists of an internal base of HST FUV planetary auroral observations acquired by the STIS, ACS/SBC (and WFPC2) instruments since 1997. These include >12500 individual images and spectra, obtained with different instrumental configurations (filters, slits, gratings), for each of which is derived a set of higher level data.

  Hisaki database
  Since 2017, the APIS search interface also queries external Hisaki EUV spectro-imaging observations of solar system planets acquired with the EXCEED instrument. These now include >1600 individual daily observations obtained with different instrumental configurations (slits, gratings) by Hisaki during its nominal mission which extended from 2013 to 2023. The provided level 1 data consist of 2D spectra acquired during one day of observation with 1-min resolution. For graphic (…)

  Cassis
  Aladin
  The interactive use of VO tools ’Aladin’ or ’Cassis’ (enabled by clicking on the links below each quicklook) requires the user to have launched the relevant software before. The data are then transmitted automatically to the chosen tool through the SAMP protocol.

  Images can be interactively read with Aladin. First option : you can directly use Aladin online with your web browser (applet mode). In this case, simply click on the link "view with Aladin" below the image of interest. The relevant applet will be launched automatically. Second option : you possess the latest version of Aladin on your computer (if not, you can download it). In this case, launch the application first, and then click on the link "view with Aladin" below the image of interest. (…)
