Coordinated ground- and space-based observations in planetology with focus on exoplanetary research — •Manuel Scherf1, Florian Topf1, Helmut O. Rucker1, Steve Miller2, Joanna Fabbri2, Maxim Khodachenko1, Helmut Lammer1, Valentin Melnik3, and Gerhard Dangl4 — 1IWF/OeAW, Graz, Austria — 2UCL, London, United Kingdom — 3IRA-NASU, Charkiv, Ukraine — 4Observatory Nonndorf, Nonndorf, Austria
In the fields of planetary and space sciences a very important aspect of coordinated observations is the provision of a web-based platform for both professionals and amateurs to organize observation campaigns. The NA1 activity of the FP7 project EuroPlaNet has a dedicated part of its work to develop an interactive matrix of ground- and space-based observations (http://europlanet-na1.oeaw.ac.at). This talk presents the status quo of the interactive electronic tool, including problems in development and data integration. Furthermore, the first successful attempt to make use of the information stored in the system by integrating amateur astronomers in professional research campaigns on exoplanets and flare stars is outlined. As example radio observations of the flare star Ev Lac by UTR-2, Ukraine, together with amateur observations in the optical range are shown. Observation campaigns on exoplanets will proceed in 2012, and it is planned to make use of the interactive matrix also in other fields of planetary and space sciences.
