New release of AVO prototype tool on Friday 


extragalactic case:
http://www.euro-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/Avo/ExtragalacticScenario

PP has worked with PR on the details of the extragalactic case, such as
how to define the hardness ratios from X-ray fluxes in different bands, how
to define a type 2 source based on the X-ray-to-optical flux ratio etc.
Some things still need to be worked out but we are getting there. 

cutouts server discussion; not available right now (only for relatively
big images) 

NW Photo-z on the fly for extragalactic case based on ACS data: 
implementing hyper-z 

AR+MA VLA data are not in the tree yet but can be added 

NW IVOA meeting after AVO science demo in January; this means will
probably have another demo on the 29 

SD and PO both report on their cross-correlation tools
(http://www.euro-vo.org/twiki/bin/view/Avo/GeomXMatch) 
SD has already a working version, which takes as input two VOTables,
sends them to a server, and then interfaces the results to the
AVO prototype
PO will have a version by Friday (Dec. 5) 

discussion on column names and order 

PP says we need to be able to include non-matches in correlator
because those are the optically faint sources below the ACS limit
and potentially absorbed quasars; MD included them in the SED tool
for the previous demo 

discussion on new ACE tool, i.e. the possiblity of firing off a request
to SEXtractor from a list of sources; it looks like for the demo will
simply run SEXtractor on different parts of the ACS images, create
optical catalogs and then correlate those with the X-ray catalogs

AR corresponding with CDS on things which need to be included 
Galactic Plane Survey
