Download Aladin (Mac) – Download Free

aladdin is a free interactive sky atlas macOS application designed to enable users to effortlessly visualize digitized astronomical imagery.

Additionally, Aladin can be used to overlay entries in astronomical catalogs or databases and to interactively access relevant data and information from the Simbad database, VizieR services and other archives from all known sources in the field (see available data).

Aladin has become a widely used VO tool capable of solving challenges such as locating data of interest, accessing and exploring distributed datasets, and visualizing multi-wavelength data.

Compliance with existing or emerging VO standards, interconnection with other visualization or analysis tools, and the ability to easily compare heterogeneous data are key themes that make Aladin a powerful data exploration and integration tool and enabler of science.

In addition, you can easily extend Aladin’s feature set with your own Java-based plug-ins, which will enable you to quickly add any custom algorithms that may be required for the task at hand.
