  The Auroral Planetary Imaging and Spectroscopy (APIS) service, accessible
online, 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 tools 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.
