DCA QUESTIONNAIRE DRAFT V0.6 - 5
THEORY SERVICES
In this section we collect information about astronomical services of a theoretical nature. Here we
include simulation services as well as analysis services that specifically target theoretical data
products.
Please fill one form per theory service stored in your Data Centre. Fill all the questions you can and
do not forget to press the "complete" button at the end to send your answer.
If you provide theory archives, please fill questionnaire #4.
For general information about this census, refer to:
