Russian Virtual Observatory
(RVO)
In December 2001, Scientific Council on Astronomy
(Russian Academy of Sciences) strongly endorsed the
RVO initiative and listed it among main international
projects of the RAS. The project coordinators are:
INASAN, Special Astrophysical Observatory (SAO RAS),
Sternberg Astronomical Institute (SAI MSU) and IPI RAS.
Teams from several other astronomical institutions
participate the project, also.
The RVO is the open project, and every collaboration with
other institutions is welcomed.

Plans for close future:
- Refresh the list of Russian astronomical on-line
resouces, construct a "june 2006" version.
- Register all resources in the NVO registry.
- Provide an access to a pilot version of a collection
of links to world
- Internet resources (about 2500 links, particularly,
links to principal Russian Internet resources).
- Restore the INASAN mirror of VizieR;
install a VALD mirror.
- Organise, in cooperation with IVOA and RVO
colleagues, IVOA Interoperability meeting
(Moscow, Sept 2006).

The database of Moscow astronomical plate collection,
maintenance of the General Catalogue of Variable Stars
- compiling electronic catalogs of Moscow astronomical plate collection,
submitting them to the specialized international database,
providing access to them by Internet;
- developing optimal techniques of scanning astronomical
photographic plates using available instruments;
- scanning the astronomical plate collections of the Sternberg Institute
and Zvenigorod Observatory, starting with the most valuable plates;
- studying possible ways of providing users with direct access
to electronic plate scans;
- systematic updating of the GCVS information, maintenance
of the updated on-line version of the catalogue, periodic releases
for the CDS.

Current achievements:
– an electronic catalog of several thousands of plates
of the Sternberg Institute's collection has been compiled;
– a draft operator's manual for scanning Sternberg Institute's plates
with the CREO EverSmart Supreme scanners has been prepared;
– scanning Moscow and Zvenigorod plates has been started
in Zvenigorod, scanning Sternberg Institute's plates has been
started in Moscow in a trial mode;
– the scanning laboratory in Zvenigorod has developed its Internet site;
– equipment needed to keep and process data and to provide access
to data obtained in the process of scanning has been purchased;
– the main part of the work on preparation of the 78th Name List
of Variable Stars has been finished;
– the work on complete identification of GCVS stars with positional catalogs
using finding charts, which took several years, has been completed.
As a result, virtually all GCVS stars now have coordinates precise
enough for automatic identifications.
Regional workshop, Apr 10-11,
2006 - Moscow, INASAN
20
Plans for near future:
– large-scale scanning of Sternberg Institute's plate collection in
Moscow;
– submitting several catalogs of Moscow astronomical plate
collections to the specialized international database;
– revision of astrophysical GCVS information for several
constellations;
– preparation of the 79th Name List of Variable Stars;
– presentation, for the IAU approvement, of suggested changes
in the classification system of variable stars to be used in the
GCVS and of future plans on variable-star catalogs.
