天文科技领域云:大数据时代的天文教育和科研信息化平台

AstroCloud:Astronomical education and scientific research informationization platform in big data era

天文科技领域云以中国天文数据中心的数据资源为基础,旨在为天文望远镜的观测时间申请、数据归档、检索、分析以及科研课题提供服务。通过利用云计算和虚拟化技术,系统集成了国内主要天文台站的存储、数据、计算、软件等资源,形成了一个物理上分散、逻辑上统一的网络化科学研究平台。天文科技领域云既为现代观测天文学研究提供了全生命周期的支持,又为数据驱动的天文教育和科普提供了开放平台。

AstroCloud is based on the data resources of the China Astronomical Data Center. It aims to provide services for the observation time application for the astronomical telescope,data archiving,data retrieval,data analysis and scientific research projects. Through the use of cloud computing and virtualization technology,the system integrates the storage,data,calculation,software and other resources of the main observatories in China,and forms a network platform of scientific research which is physically dispersed and logically unified. Astro Cloud provides both the whole life cycle of modern observational astronomical research and the open platform for the data-driven astronomical education and popularization of science.
