TOWARDS A COLLABORATION CLOUD FOR ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATIONS
With the rapid spreading of the high-speed network,the application of many advanced technologies in large astronomical telescopes,and the progress in Internet-based scientific collaboration platform,it is possible for astronomers to collaboratively use several large astronomical telescopes located thousand miles apart.In this paper,we propose a collaboration cloud for astronomical observations,Astronomical Virtual Laboratory (AVLAB),which is based on the Duckling software,an open-source scientific collaboration platform.By AVLAB,astronomers can collaboratively operate several astronomical telescopes distributed over different observation stations and get the observation images immediately.AVALB was used for collaboratively observing a fast varying celestial object,S5 0716+714,with the 2.16-m telescope located at Xinglong observation station and the 1.56-m telescope located at Sheshan observation station in China.
