The main address of the server at the moment is:
http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/

== Authorization ==

* In order to access the server you need a so called "hashtag" which is an authorization key. In order to get one you need to ask Lukasz Wyrzykowski and give him also
the lon,lat of your observatory and list of filters you have.
* If you have the hashtag, you can use the login form of the server to authorize yourself. Or if you are doing some scripting, you will need to specify hashtag option in the GET, POST requests.

== Calibration of your photometric data ==

The main url for calibration of your sextractor catalogs is
http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/uploader/

You can also do that from the command line using HTTP POST protocol
curl -F matchDist=2 -F EventID='ivo://110610' -F sexCat="@path_to_your_sex_catalog;filename=test.cat"
-F "hashtag=XXXX" -F "MJD=2" -F "matchDist=2"
-F EventID='ivo://110610' -F expTime=1 -F noPlot=1
-F forceFilter=no -F dryRun=1 -F outputFormat=json "http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/cgi/upload"
Parameters of the http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/cgi/upload
* matchDist -- matching radius in arcseconds
* hashtag -- your authorization key
* MJD -- mjd of the observations
* expTime -- exposure time
* comment -- comments
* EventID -- the ivorn of the alert
* dryRun -- the value of 1 allows you to check the results of the calibration without inserting anything into our DB
* forceFilter -- "no" means that the calibration will be fully automated. But You can also specify APASS/V if you want to calibrate using a particular survey/filter
* sexCat -- that's the Sextractor catalog you are trying to submit
* outputFormat -- at the moment the only allowed values are json and html

It is important that you can upload the data for the alerts which are in the database (e.g. which are listed here http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/list_of_alerts ).
If the alert is not in our DB, you can insert it http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/newevent/

The allowed formats for the sextractor catalogs are plain ascii and FITS. Obviously those catalogs must contain
RA, DEC and MAG columns.

== Review of the data in the Database ==

You can view the list of followup_data which are in the DB http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/list_of_followups

You can view the list of alerts which are in the DB http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/list_of_alerts
, and the subset of them which have followup data
http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/list_of_alerts?observed_only=1.
From these pages you can also see the light curves for those alerts which do have followup data.
Here is the example of the light curve:
http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/get_alert_lc?alert_id=2999

== Source code ==

The calibration server is written in python using Flask framework. If you'd like to help/implement something, ask Sergey Koposov for the access to the git repository
on http://bitbucket.org

You can also do that from the command line using HTTP POST protocol
curl -F matchDist=2 -F EventID='ivo://110610' -F sexCat="@test/110621_V4.cat;filename=test.cat"
-F "hashtag=XXXX" -F "MJD=2" -F "matchDist=2"
-F EventID='ivo://110610' -F expTime=1 -F noPlot=1
-F forceFilter=no -F dryRun=1 -F outputFormat=json "http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/cgi/upload"
Parameters of the http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/cgi/upload
* matchDist -- matching radius in arcseconds
* hashtag -- your authorization key
* MJD -- mjd of the observations
* expTime -- exposure time
* comment -- comments
* EventID -- the ivorn of the alert
* dryRun -- the value of 1 allows you to check the results of the calibration without inserting anything into our DB
* forceFilter -- "no" means that the calibration will be fully automated. But You can also specify APASS/V if you want to calibrate using a particular survey/filter
* sexCat -- that's the Sextractor catalog you are trying to submit
* outputFormat -- at the moment the only allowed values are json and html

It is important that you upload the data for the alerts which are in the database (e.g. which are listed here http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/list_of_alerts ).
If the alert is not in our DB, you can insert it http://gaia020.ast.cam.ac.uk:5000/newevent/

* In order to access the server you need a so called "hashtag" which is an autorization key. In order to get one you need to ask Lukasz Wyrzykowski and report to him also
the lon,lat of your observatory and list of filters you have

== Gaia Science Alerts Follow-up Server ==
We are currently testing a facility which allows uniform calibration of the photometric follow-up observations of alerts reported by SkyAlert.org.

<big>Here is the documentation on the [[Calibration_Server|Cambridge Photometry Calibration Server]] </big>

There is also a keynote presentation about it [[Media:GaiaFollowupServerManual.pdf | Manual]].

If you plan to perform any photometric follow-up observations of the alerts available at SkyAlert.org and you would like to use our service, please contact [[User:Lukasz | Lukasz Wyrzykowski]] for password. When contacting us please provide us also with your observatory name, longitude and latitude and available filters.

Useful links for observers willing to do follow-up observations for Gaia:
* [http://nova.astrometry.net astrometry.net] - online service providing astrometric WCS solution for any image
* [http://www.astromatic.net astromatic.net] - collection of useful astro-software, including Sextractor

== Preliminary minimal requirements on the photometric and spectroscopic follow-up of Gaia Alerts ==

'''Photometry:'''

* multi-band photometry, at least two bands (e.g. V,I), Sloan ugriz preferred
* flux calibration no worse than 10% (0.1 mag)
* WCS and fluxes (from, e.g., Sextractor) submitted to the Calibration Server
* availability of flux measurements within 2 hours

'''Spectroscopy:'''

* spectral range minimal: 4500-7000A
* signal to noise > 20 all over the range above
* resolution R > 150
* lambda calibrations better -+ 3A
* relative flux calibrations better -+10%
* absolute flux calibrations: none
* availability of reduced spectra within less than 12h

== Current and future instruments suitable for Gaia alerts response ==

'''Please expand this list with information on the telescopes/surveys which might be suitable and interested in Gaia alerts follow-up and in operation in years 2012-2017.'''

[http://www.uni-sw.gwdg.de/~hessman/MONET/links.html Hessman's list] of (mainly robotic) telescopes (including ones in preparation).

* MASTER Robotic Net ([http://arxiv.org/abs/0907.0827 Lipunov et al. 2009]) limiting mag= 19-20, started in 2002 in Moscow, Russia, followed-up many GCN alerts; now being upgraded to a network all over Russia (1000 clear nights per year).

* 3 telescopes operated at the Konkoly Observatory, Piszkesteto Mountain Station [http://www.konkoly.hu/staff/racz/piszkesteto.html] (Hungary): 50 cm Cassegrain, 60/90/180 cm Schmidt, 1m RCC.
