Acknowledgements A sincere acknowledgement goes to the whole IDIS team in Europe for their collaboration in the IDIS project. IDIS EUROPLANET RI is funded by FP7 Grant agreement 228319. We would also like to thank Dr. M. E. Zolensky of the NASA Johnson Space Center for his precious correspondence that helped us with the Cosmic Dust Catalog service. We also acknowledge Dr. J. Lasue of Institut de Recherche en Astrophysique et Planetologie for its contribution ( Lasue et al., 2010 ) with extracted spectra data from Volume 15 of the NASA dust catalog.
Abstract
It is not trivial, nowadays, to be fully aware of the impressive amount of astrophysical resources that are at hand. Virtual Observatories (VOs) were therefore created to provide a simple access to what astronomers look for. In this paper we focus on the original data access services developed specifically, in a VO perspective, for the "Small Bodies and Dust Node" (SBDN) in the framework of the Integrated and Distributed Information System (IDIS) initiative of the Europlanet Research Infrastructure project. We describe the scientific goals, along with the innovative technical aspects, of the tools that SBDN presently provides to the scientific community, namely the Comet Emission Lines service, and the Cosmic Dust Catalog service. In the former, an algorithm for the detection of unidentified emission lines has been implemented.
