Exploring Astronomy and Astrophysics with EGI-InSPIRE
Delve into the world of Astronomy and Astrophysics through the collaborative efforts supported by EGI-InSPIRE. The community studies the vast universe through observations, simulations, and complex computing demands. Challenges include virtual observatories, smart technologies, and data sharing to advance eScience approaches. Discover the role of EGI in technology interoperability and high-level services to support the A&A community. Explore science gateways integrating applications and services for astronomical projects, fostering trans-national federations and initiatives for enhanced collaboration in astrophysical research.

A&A Community Study the physics of the Universe; Observation and simulations; Heterogeneous, distributed, wide community Computing (HTC but also HPC) Demanding in terms of data EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
A&A Challenges A&A infrastructures Virtual Observatory: Astronomical data and service infrastructure Project-oriented / community-oriented federations Integrating infrastructures Smart technologies: hide complexity of the infrastructures and allow end users to focus on scientific aspects eScience approach Data sharing, federated (virtual) research environments and computational resources EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
The State of the art MAGIC and Planck experiments The A&A VOs (10 with about 500 users) A light weight coordination The A&A Heavy User Community Partnership in EGI-InSPIRE to develop and maintain services and tools (WP SA3, Task 5) and prepare their long term sustainability Visualization tools Interoperability of different DCIs Interoperability of DCIs and DDIs EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
The role of EGI for A&A Technology Interoperability Support EGI High level services Networking Resources EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
The Fall-Out Science gateways as a framework to integrate Applications and services for A&A (8 SGW) SCI-BUS / Science Gateways ER-flow / User Communities Applications AstroGrid-PL: InSilicoLab for Astrophysics Benefits for the big (ESFRI) A&A Projects CTA / Virtual Team / focus on SSO and Science Gateways for Cherenkov Telescope Array Trans-national federations and initiatives STARnet / Trans-national Federation of thematic astronomical Science Gateways Interoperability between eInfrastructures: EuroVO data and services cloud. EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
The EGI HUB SCI-BUS A&A CTA experiments EGI StarNET ER-Flow EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
On going activities CTA portal: prototype by Cyfronet and INAF SKApathfinder: Evolutionary Map of the Universe a deep survey of the sky (10mJy/beam) to be carried out at 1.4 GHz with the Australian SKA Pathfinder (ASKAP). STARnet Federation A&A services: e.g. AstroGrid-PL or BaSTI Engagement of A&A Data Centers: science gateways for data services Interoperability with International Virtual Observatory: Canadian Data Center federated Cloud for Astronomy IVOA Grid and Web Services working group Astro-WG and Astro-CG in OGF Astro-CG as an international forum where the astro communities and projects Meet and bring their experiences and advances Learn about technology advances Liaison with the Virtual Observatory EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
Closing activities Planck ESA satellite mission: measure the CMB. The workflows are used to develop a web application of the Planck simulation software based on SSP. Execute large number of simulations (parameter-sweep) Estimate the Cosmological Parameters correcting instrumental and observational systematics. Planck VO: ~50 users, ~ 20000 Cores, 15TB EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
A&A in 2015 and beyond In the last year there was an increase of 20% of users in A&A VOs Dedicated computing and storage will increase in 2015 (800 cores and 100TB storage, cloud, national funding) Provide an integrated virtual research environment solutions for data sharing, visual analytics, data mining and for supporting collaborations Integrated solutions for data and computing (EGI fed cloud and IVOA cloud) EGI-InSPIRE RI-261323 www.egi.eu
