8. A Smart On-line Astronomical Information Collector SkyMouse • Touch the sky with your mouse • An intelligent client for VO services • A commodity for astronomers and students KIAA-Cambridge Workshop

9. FitHAS: FITS Header Archiving System • An useful assistant tool for FITS providers and managers • Importing FITS keyword records for one or more FITS files under a given directory into a database by several mouse clicks KIAA-Cambridge Workshop

10. VO Data Access Service (VO-DAS) • An OGSA-DAI based service system to provide unified access to astronomy data, including catalogs, images and spectra. • Goals of VO-DAS • Supporting high volume data query • Interlinking distributed and heterogeneous archives • catalogs, images, spectrums • Providing a software that works for astronomers KIAA-Cambridge Workshop

11. VO Tools (Aladin, TOPCAT) PLASTIC Local DB MATLAB Database Toolbox VOTables Java Libraries AstroBox MATLAB VO-DAS Client VO-DAS AstroBox • A plug-in package for MATLAB to provide an astronomical data mining application service, supporting VO protocols and tools. • A high-level data analysis environment supporting: • PLASTIC • VOTable • Local DB • VO-DAS client • Astronomical algorithms KIAA-Cambridge Workshop

12. First Science Paper from China-VO • Candidate Milky Way satellites in the Galactic halo（Liu et al., 2008, A&A) • SDSS DR5 photometric data were searched for new Milky Way companions or substructures in the Galactic halo. • Data analysis procedures were based on the VO-DAS. • Five candidates are identified as over-dense faint stellar sources that have color-magnitude diagrams similar to those of known globular clusters, or dwarf spherical galaxies.

16. SDSS Mirror KIAA-Cambridge Workshop

17. LAMOST Obs. Mode and Data Size • 4000 / 250 => 16 spectroscopes => red & blue parts =>32 CCD cameras => 4K*4K pixels => 16 bits color deep • For each sky area, 3 times exposure, 30 minutes each. 5 sky area (plate) can be observed for a night (7.5~9 hours) • Scientific data per night: • 4K*4K*2*32*5*3= 15.36 (GB) • All the collected data is about 20 GB/night • 20*200= 4,000 GB per year (ideal condition) • 4*5 year = 20 TB for the LAMOST 5 years life period KIAA-Cambridge Workshop

18. Data Products • 2-D multi-fiber spectrum images (pravite) • 1-D spectra (to the public 18 months later) • Catalogs (to the public 24 months later) • No image (in principle) KIAA-Cambridge Workshop
