Astro-wise: an astronomical wide-field imaging system for europe

Obiettivo

Objectives: The ASTRO-WISE programme co-ordinates the development work to deal with and access astronomical wide field imaging data. It provides an operational environment for researchers to analyse and access the huge data volumes of observational data produced by a new generation of Europe’s wide field imaging telescopes. The programme pools the expertise of a number of European groups with experience or commitment to optical wide-field survey work. All partner sites will function as (linked) national data centres. The code and expertise to run additional satellite centres is a deliverable of the project. ASTRO-WISE develops and disseminates in the community software tools needed to access the wide-field image data, to perform individual research programmes. The huge data volumes require an innovative dynamical approach, in which results can be re-derived, customized to the users specific needs. To this end, the various calibration data and other input files are distributed over a network, which connects the data centres. The geographical distribution of the key information (both methods and data) is provided by the system, allowing the various National Data centres to work cooperatively in an efficient manner and optimally profit from the work done at each of the centres. This enhancement, consolidation and dissemination through National data centres, is going to build up the Astronomical Wide-field Imaging System for Europe.

Results: In the first year the project plan as outlined in the contract has been implemented: i.e. groups of persons associated to work packages are defined, meetings and communication schemes have been initiated. A conceptual design paper of the system has been produced, a preliminary proto-type pipeline has been disseminated over partners, a key-contract with Oracle has been placed and a training course for ASTRO-WISE staff has been organized. A new generation of computer clusters is installed at four sites. With the design and most, but not yet all, of the personnel in place the second year of the project can focus on implementation work, as planned. In the second year the project plan as outlined in the contract has been continued. Following the plan for Phase II of the project, a prototype of the AstroWise system has been implemented. An evaluation took place of the proto-type underlying pipeline, as delivered by WP1. At an AstroWise workshop in November at Groningen this prototype was reviewed and a set of modification of class definitions was settled. Hardware for WP3 (disk storage) and WP4 (computers) have been implemented at various nodes. The central database systems have been put into operation (WP3) and a new preliminary version of the visualization tool has been delivered (WP2).
