Aladin is an interactive sky atlas for visualization and manipulation of digitized astronomical images and catalogues. It provides an access point to VO resources and is interoperable with other VO tools. It is widely used for browsing and viewing multiwavelength image data, for overlay and cross-matching of catalogues, and for preparing observations.

This Aladin demo will demonstrate new features available in the next public release and notably the development of the 'user profile' concept (preview, undergraduate, astronomer).

Mode of presentation: focus
