- Presentation

The SsoTEP project aims to build a VO-compliant information system to enable astronomers to receive on their desktop the predictions of transient events which concern solar system objects (Sso), such as stellar occultations or mutual events.

The SsoTEP service is currently a prototype which has been developed to emphasize the interest of VOEvent technology. It will be fully fonctionnal in early 2012.

- Scientific issue

The current version of the service makes event notices available only for a set of mutual phenomena of the binary asteroid 90 Antiope for 2007-2008 observational campaign.

- Technical issue

The architecture of the SsoTEP service is based ontop of a database from which the events are extracted and formatted in the IVOA's VOEvent format (version 1.0).

The event are published via a graphical Message Timeline interface, RSS 2.0 feed, and OGC KML format which can be visualized, for example, in Google Earth.
