| Abstract: |
Since 2009, the CDS promotes a method for visualizing based on
the HEALPix sky tessellation. This method, called “Hierarchical
Progressive Survey" or HiPS, allows one to display a survey
progressively. It is particularly suited for all-sky surveys or deep
fields. This visualization method is now integrated in several
applications, notably Aladin, the SiTools/MIZAR CNES framework, and the
recent HTML5 “Aladin Lite". Also, more than one hundred surveys are
already available in this view mode. In this article, we will present
the progress concerning this method and its recent adaptation to the
astronomical catalogs such as the GAIA simulation. |
