The VizieR_planets EPN-TAP service provides a selection of catalogues which contain data related to the Solar System and exoplanets. VizieR (http://vizier.unistra.fr/) is a larger service distributing astronomical catalogues related to reviewed papers. Catalogues can be downloaded in TOPCAT (sometimes as multiple tables); the external_link parameter points to a directory in the VizieR web site that contains all associated files (under ftp tab). The EPN-TAP descriptions are completed iteratively to improve search capacities.
The service provides access to the complete dataset of VIMS spectral cubes on Saturn's moons illustrated by multispectral previews. It is linked to the web site at Laboratoire de Géologie Planétaire, Nantes (https://vims.univ-nantes.fr) which contains more information about observing sessions. Raw VIMS cubes are available (PDS format), as well as calibrated and geometry files (both in ISIS format). See Le Mouelic et al (2019) Icarus 319, 121-132. The original archive is distributed on the PDS imaging node (https://pds-imaging.jpl.nasa.gov/volumes/vims.html)
Mars-Express/High Resolution Stereo Camera (HRSC) panchromatic nadir images of planet Mars in radiometrically calibrated and orthorectified form, where the rectification is based on the terrain representation provided by the MOLA digital terrain model (HRSC processing level 3). This service provides links to separate services serving single images compliant to the Open Geospatial Consortium's Web Mapping Service (WMS). The original level 3 data in native PDS format is available online at https://archives.esac.esa.int and http://pds-geosciences.wustl.edu/missions/mars_express/hrsc.htm. The data has been re-projected to the Equidistant Cylindrical projection using the Mars sphere with radius R=3,396 km as its geodetic basis. Details about the HRSC experiment are described in Jaumann et al., 2007 (doi:10.1016/j.pss.2006.12.003).

HST observations of planets, dwarf planets, and satellites, extracted from the CADC database catalogue (regularly updated). Data are linked to the CADC repository, with file names common to all HST archives. Both calibrated and derived products are included. The main target is identified. Physical ephemeris and thumbnails are provided when available. Files and previews are not accessible during the proprietary period.
The ephemeris were produced by simulating the ejection of meteoroids from the sunlit hemisphere of cometary nuclei, typically from 0 to 3 au, followed by the propagation of orbits of meteoroids in the Solar System, taking into account the gravitation of the Sun, the 8 planets, Pluto, and the Moon, as well as the radiation pressure and the Poynting-Robertson drag. Note that asteroid parent bodies were considered as active (i.e. comet-like bodies) even if they are not active today. The showers are predicted when a planet enters a large enough set of meteoroids, at a distance less than typically 0.01 au. See Vaubaillon J., Colas F., Jorda L. 2005 A new method to predict meteor showers. I.

EPN-TAP access to the LOFAR Jupiter database.
Synchronous synoptic maps of the corona in the extreme-UV (EUV), built from series of SoHO/EIT observations, in each of the 4 wavelength bands of the instrument. Synchronous synoptic maps are maps of the EUV radiance in different wavelength bands on the full solar sphere, in heliographic (Carrington) longitude and latitude. They capture the state of the corona at any given reference time by including data obtained as close as possible to this time and by taking differential rotation into account. EUV-SYN is available as part of the generic MEDOC interface which is currently located at https://idoc-medoc.ias.u-psud.fr/ and from IDL and Python scripts. https://doi.org/10.48326/idoc.medoc.eit-syn
GAIA-DEM is a database of Differential Emission Measure (DEM) maps. The DEM is a measure of the thermal structure of the coronal plasma, representing the quantity of light emitting plasma along the line of sight, at different temperatures. In GAIA-DEM, the DEM is modelled by a specific function of temperature, namely a Gaussian of the logarithm of electron temperature. GAIA-DEM maps are then maps of the DEM maximum temperature, of the DEM integral (total Emission Measure), and DEM width (in temperature). These maps are obtained by inversion from the SDO/AIA EUV images in 6 coronal channels (9.4, 13.1, 17.1, 19.3, 21.1, and 33.5nm). In addition, maps of the 𝝌² for the inversion are provided. GAIA-DEM is available from the MEDOC interface at https://idoc-medoc.ias.u-psud.fr/ based on the CNES SiTools2 framework. GAIA-DEM is also available from IDL and Python scripts, using a specialization of the generic SiTools2 IDL and Python clients developed by MEDOC. Fits files are not currently supported by ds9 but can be opened in fv and other fits viewers.
The database contains OMEGA/Mars-Express spectral cubes acquired with the C (short wavelength NIR) channel. Filtering processes have been implemented to remove some instrumental artefacts and observational conditions. OMEGA C channel data cubes are corrected for atmospheric and aerosol contributions. Data are available as netcdf and idl sav files.

The Auroral Planetary Imaging and Spectroscopy (APIS) service provides an open and interactive access to processed auroral observations of the outer planets and their satellites. Such observations are of interest for a wide community at the interface between planetology and magnetospheric and heliospheric physics. APIS consists of (i) a high level database, built from planetary auroral observations acquired by the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) since 1997 with its mostly used Far-UltraViolet spectro-imagers, (ii) a dedicated search interface aimed at browsing efficiently this database through relevant conditional search criteria and (iii) the ability to interactively work with the data online through plotting tools developed by the Virtual Observatory (VO) community, such as Aladin and Specview. This service is VO compliant and can therefore also been queried by external search portals of the VO community. The diversity of available data and the capability to sort them out by relevant physical criteria shall in particular facilitate statistical studies, on long-term scales and/or multi-instrumental multi-spectral combined analysis.
Since 1973, the 18-cm lines of the OH radical have been systematically observed in a number of comets with the Nançay radio telescope. This allowed an evaluation of the cometary water production rates and their evolution with time, as well as a study of several physical processes: the excitation mechanisms of the OH radio lines, the expansion of the cometary atmospheres, their anisotropy in relation with non-gravitational forces, the Zeeman effect in relation with the cometary magnetic field (Crovisier et al, 2002A&A...393.1053C). This service provides access to the Nançay observations of 100+ cometary apparitions between 1982 and 2018. Spectra are provided either as sums of simultaneous acquisitions in different ranges and polarizations (status 2), or averages during short periods (status 3) to increase the signal to noise ratio; status -2 indicates off-target pointing to avoid saturation. Upper limits on OH production rates are provided with value = 0. and error > 0.
