“…The review of observational types of binary stars and of basic data resources for them (Kovaleva 2015) indicates that, until recently, a data source addressing specific binary properties and joining information for all observational types of binarity was missing. To fill in this gap, the Binary star DataBase, BDB (http://bdb.inasan.ru) was created in collaboration between the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Observatory of Besançon Kaygorodov et al 2012).…”

Abstract. The purpose of this review is to analyze main directions of creation and functioning of major data sources developed by Russian astronomers or with their participation and to compare them with the worldwide trends in these fields. We discuss astronomical space missions of the past, present, and future (Astron, INTEGRAL, WSO-UV, Spectrum Roentgen Gamma, Lyra-B), high-quality photometric atlases and catalogues, and spectroscopic data sources, primarily VALD and the global VAMDC framework for the maintenance and distribution of atomic and molecular data. We describe collection, analysis, and dissemination of astronomical data on minor bodies of the Solar System and on variable stars. Also described is the project joining data for all observational types of binary and multiple stars, Binary star DataBase (BDB).

“…To identify the cases described in § 2.1 and § 2.2, we applied the above methods to three principal catalogues of visual binaries -WDS, CCDM, and TDSCvarying the d 1 and d 2 threshold values. We manually checked our preliminary results against the Binary Star Database (BDB, Kaygorodov et al 2012), which allows us to visualize the catalogued data and estimated values of d 1 and d 2 for those two tasks for every catalogue. After that, we used our tools to compile the final lists of errors in the catalogues.…”

Visual binary stars are the most abundant class of observed binaries. The most comprehensive list of data on visual binaries compiled recently by cross-matching the largest catalogues of visual binaries allowed a statistical investigation of observational parameters of these systems. The dataset was cleaned by correcting uncertainties and misclassifications, and supplemented with available parallax data. The refined dataset is free from technical biases and contains 3676 presumably physical visual pairs of luminosity class V with known angular separations, magnitudes of the components, spectral types, and parallaxes. We also compiled a restricted sample of 998 pairs free from observational biases due to the probability of binary discovery. Certain distributions of observational and physical parameters of stars of our dataset are discussed.

The principal idea of the Virtual Observatory is to achieve real transparency for astronomical data, similar to transparency for all the world's documents in the World Wide Web. In the Virtual Observatory, all the world's astronomical data is available from one's desktop. All archives understand the same query language, can be accessed through a uniform interface, and diverse data can be analyzed with the same tools. In particular, facilities of the Virtual Observatory allow users to make a fast and correct analysis of objects from various surveys. It yields multi‐photometry data on registered objects and makes it possible to determine stellar parameters. Methods of astronomical data analysis as well as their application to various areas of stellar astronomy are discussed in this paper. (© 2013 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
