About Institut d'Astronomie et d'Astrophysique Databases

The Institut d'Astronomie et d'Astrophysique (IAA) at Université Libre de Bruxelles hosts a collection of astronomy databases covering nuclear astrophysics, spectroscopy, stellar evolution, binary stars, and astrometry. The site includes self-maintained resources such as nuclear data compilations, spectroscopic binary catalogs, molecular linelists, and stellar models, alongside links to external astronomy databases and virtual observatory resources.

Key features

  • Self-maintained nuclear astrophysics databases (BRUSLIB, NetGen, NACRE II, TENDL-astro)
  • Spectroscopic binary star catalogs (SB9, SBX)
  • Henize S star sample and barium/S star radial velocity data
  • Molecular linelists for stellar spectra analysis
  • Pre-main-sequence and super-AGB stellar model access
  • Links to external astronomy databases and virtual observatory resources
Best for: The resource is most useful for astronomy researchers and students focused on nuclear astrophysics, stellar evolution, spectroscopy, and binary star studies.
Good for
  • Hosts curated, specialized databases for niche astronomy subfields
  • Includes both self-maintained resources and links to external relevant astronomy databases
  • Provides access to unique datasets like the SB9 spectroscopic binary catalog and Henize S star sample
Watch out for
  • Some sections (e.g., Hermes spectrograph, admin pages) are restricted to authorized users
  • Several linked astronomy databases are not maintained by IAA-ULB, with varying update and support schedules
