The Optical Monitoring Camera (OMC) on-board the INTEGRAL satellite has, as one of its scientific goals, the observation of a large number of variable sources previously selected. After almost 6 years of operations, OMC has monitored more than 100 000 sources of scientific interest. In this contribution we present the OMC Scientific Archive (http://sdc.laeff.inta.es/omc/) which has been developed to provide the astronomical community with a quick access to the light curves generated by this instrument.We describe the main characteristics of this archive, as well as important aspects for the users: object types, temporal sampling of light curves and photometric accuracy.

The electron density ($n_{e^{-}}$) plays an important role in setting the chemistry and physics of the interstellar medium. However, measurements of $n_{e^{-}}$ in neutral clouds have been directly obtained only toward a few lines of sight or they re
ly on indirect determinations. We use carbon radio recombination lines and the far-infrared lines of C$^{+}$ to directly measure $n_{e^{-}}$ and the gas temperature in the envelope of the integral shaped filament (ISF) in the Orion A molecular cloud. We observed the C$102alpha$ and C$109alpha$ carbon radio recombination lines (CRRLs) using the Effelsberg 100m telescope at ~2 resolution toward five positions in OMC-2 and OMC-3. Since the CRRLs have similar line properties, we averaged them to increase the signal-to-noise ratio of the spectra. We compared the intensities of the averaged CRRLs, and the 158 {mu}m-[CII] and [$^{13}$CII] lines to the predictions of a homogeneous model for the C$^{+}$/C interface in the envelope of a molecular cloud and from this comparison we determined the electron density, temperature and C$^{+}$ column density of the gas. We detect the CRRLs toward four positions, where their velocity and widths (FWHM 2.3 km s$^{-1}$) confirms that they trace the envelope of the ISF. Toward two positions we detect the CRRLs, and the [CII] and [$^{13}$CII] lines with a signal-to-noise ratio >5, and we find $n_{e^{-}}=0.65pm0.12$ cm$^{-3}$ and $0.95pm0.02$ cm$^{-3}$, which corresponds to a gas density $n_{H}approx5times10^{3}$ cm$^{-3}$ and a thermal pressure of $p_{th}approx4times10^{5}$ K cm$^{-3}$. We also constrained the ionization fraction in the denser portions of the molecular cloud using the HCN(1-0) and C$_{2}$H(1-0) lines to $x(e^{-})<3times10^{-6}$. The derived electron densities and ionization fraction imply that $x(e^{-})$ drops by a factor >100 between the C$^{+}$ layer and the regions probed by HCN(1-0).
NASAs Kepler Space Telescope has collected high-precision, high-cadence time series photometry on 781,590 unique postage-stamp targets across 21 different fields of view. These observations have already yielded 2,496 scientific publications by author
s from 63 countries. The full data set is now public and available from NASAs data archives, enabling continued investigations and discoveries of exoplanets, oscillating stars, eclipsing binaries, stellar variability, star clusters, supernovae, galaxies, asteroids, and much more. In this white paper, we discuss 21 important data analysis projects which are enabled by the archive data. The aim of this paper is to help new users understand where there may be important scientific gains left to be made in analyzing Kepler data, and to encourage the continued use of the archives. With the TESS mission about to start releasing data, the studies will inform new experiments, new surveys, and new analysis techniques. The Kepler mission has provided an unprecedented data set with a precision and duration that will not be rivaled for decades. The studies discussed in this paper show that many of Keplers contributions still lie ahead of us, owing to the emergence of complementary new data sets like Gaia, novel data analysis methods, and advances in computing power. Keplers unique data archive will provide new discoveries for years to come, touching upon key aspects of each of NASAs three big astrophysics questions; How does the universe work? How did we get here? Are we alone?
We present the search for eclipsing binaries with a pulsating component in the first catalogue of optically variable sources observed by OMC/INTEGRAL, which contains photometric data for more than 1000 eclipsing binaries. Five objects were found and
a detailed analysis of one of them, DY Aqr, has been performed. Photometric and spectroscopic observations of DY Aqr were obtained to analyse the binary system and the pulsational characteristics of the primary component. By applying the binary modelling software phoebe to the OMC and ground-based photometric light curves, and to the radial velocity curve obtained using echelle high-resolution spectroscopy, the physical parameters of the system have been determined. Frequency analysis of the residual data has been performed using Fourier techniques to identify pulsational frequencies. We have built a grid of theoretical models to classify spectroscopically the primary component as an A7.5V star (plus or minus one spectral subtype). The best orbital fit was obtained for a semi-detached system configuration. According to the binary modelling, the primary component has Teff = 7625+-125 K and log g = 4.1+-0.1 and the secondary component has Teff = 3800+-200 K and log g = 3.3+-0.1, although it is too faint to isolate its spectral features. From the analysis of the residuals we have found a main pulsation frequency at 23.37 c/d, which is typical of a delta Scuti star. In the O-C diagram no evidence of orbital period changes over the last 8 years has been found.
Aims: Our aim is to identify the dominant molecular cooling lines and characteristic emission features in the 1.3 mm window of distinct regions in the northern part of the Orion A molecular cloud. By defining and analysing template regions, we also i
ntend to help with the interpretation of observations from more distant sources which cannot be easily spatially resolved. Methods: We analyse an imaging line survey covering the area of OMC-1 to OMC-3 from 200.2 to 281.8 GHz obtained with the PI230 receiver at the APEX telescope. Masks are used to define regions with distinct properties (e.g. column density or temperature ranges) from which we obtain averaged spectra. Lines of 29 molecular species (55 isotopologues) are fitted for each region to obtain the respective total intensity. Results: We find that strong sources like Orion KL have a clear impact on the emission on larger scales. Although not spatially extended, their line emission contributes substantially to spectra averaged over large regions. Conversely, the emission signatures of dense, cold regions like OMC-2 and OMC-3 (e.g. enhanced N$_{2}$H$^{+}$ emission and low HCN/HNC ratio) seem to be difficult to pick up on larger scales, where they are eclipsed by signatures of stronger sources. In all regions, HCO$^{+}$ appears to contribute between 3% and 6% to the total intensity, the most stable value for all bright species. N$_{2}$H$^{+}$ shows the strongest correlation with column density, but not with typical high-density tracers like HCN, HCO$^{+}$, H$_{2}$CO, or HNC. Common line ratios associated with UV illumination, CN/HNC and CN/HCO$^{+}$, show ambiguous results on larger scales, suggesting that the identification of UV illuminated material may be more challenging. The HCN/HNC ratio may be related to temperature over varying scales.
We describe the WFCAM Science Archive (WSA), which is the primary point of access for users of data from the wide-field infrared camera WFCAM on the United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (UKIRT), especially science catalogue products from the UKIRT Infra
red Deep Sky Survey (UKIDSS). We describe the database design with emphasis on those aspects of the system that enable users to fully exploit the survey datasets in a variety of different ways. We give details of the database-driven curation applications that take data from the standard nightly pipeline-processed and calibrated files for the production of science-ready survey datasets. We describe the fundamentals of querying relational databases with a set of astronomy usage examples, and illustrate the results.
