  1. Astrophysical Integrated Research Environment 周建锋、杨洋 清华大学天体物理中心

  2. Contents • Some Backgrounds • Main Components of AIRE • Current Status • Scientific Results Highlights • Future Plan

  3. INTEGRAL / IBIS (ISGRI) SWID = 005500490010 1 : Start from Raw Data

  4. 2 : Use Multi-band Data as Much as Possible

  5. 3 : Do Collaborations as Much as Possible Radio : Interferometry …, AIPS, AIPS++, Difmap… Optical : Photometry … , IRAF, MIDAS … X-ray : Coded-mask …, HEADAS …. Provide a web-based collaborative research environment for astrophysicists.

  6. DPC (Data Processing Center)

  7. VLBI Data Processing

  8. HST Data Processing Via IRAF

  9. Chandra Data Processing Via CIAO

  10. CARPS (Collaborative AstrophysicalResearch Project System ) • Provide a simple but effective way to do collaborative research • HTML and DPC interfaces.

  11. Current Status of AIRE

  12. Current Status of AIRE • 8 Data Processing Servers, with 20 Intel Xeon or AMD • Opteron CPUs, 22GB memory and 7TB hard disks. • Fast Internet Connection to the outside data centers • (download 200~600GB/Day from single data center). • 5~30 online users. • 18 collaborative research projects.

  13. Scientific Results Highlights I X-Ray Triple Rings around the M87 Jets in the Central Virgo Cluster Feng, Hua; Zhang, Shuang-Nan; Lou, Yu-Qing; Li, Ti-Pei 2004ApJ...607L..95F 1. Non-Gaussianity due to Possible Residual Foreground Signals in WMAP1st-year Data Using Spherical Wavelet Approaches Xin Liu, Shuang Nan Zhang, 2005ApJ...633..542L 2. A Cross-Correlation Analysis of WMAP and EGRET Data in Wavelet Space Xin Liu, Shuang Nan Zhang, 2006ApJ...636L...1L

  14. Scientific Results Highlights II Optimization of interferometric array configurations by ``sieving'' u - v points Su,Y.; Nan,R.D.; Peng,B.; Roddis,N.; Zhou,J.F. Astronomy & Astrophysics 414, 389–397 (2004) Fu-Yan Bian, Yu-Qing Lou, Xiao-Feng Wang, Yang Yang, Tsinghua Center for Astrophysics (THCA), Tsinghua University, Beijing 100084, China and Yu-Lei Qiu, National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC), report the discovery of an apparent new supernova of about mag 17.4 on unfiltered archival CCD images taken on 2005 December 25.67 UT using the 0.8-m THCA-NAOC Telescope (TNT) during the THCA Supernova Survey. The candidate supernova was located at R.A. = 09h08m42s.33, Decl. = 44o48'51".4 (equinox 2000.0), which is 5".9 west and 13".3 north of the center of the galaxy UGC 04798. Nothing was visible at the location of the new object on our TNT template images obtained on December 13, November 25, November 13, and October 31, 2005. The limiting magnitude of November 25 can reach 18.5 mag. We confirmed this object on 2005 December 26.58 UT and the magnitude of the object on unfiltered CCD was about 17.3 mag.

  15. Scientific Results Highlights III

  16. Future Plan • Improve the Collaboration Environment. • Incorporate AIRE with other VO tools and standards.
