Abstract: |
The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan (NAOJ) has been operating several large astronomical facilities, such as the Subaru telescope, the 45 m radio telescope and the Nobeyama Millimeter Array, and plans to construct the ALMA under close collaborations with the US and the EU. Since January 2002, the NAOJ has been connected to the Super SINET with 10 Gbps, and it has become possible to provide a huge amount of observed multi-color data and analysis facilities to other astronomical institutions. We therefore started the Japanese Virtual Observatory (JVO) project in April 2002. JVO utilizes the Grid technology to combine several remote computational facilities. We have completed defining the query language for the JVO (JVOQL), and have been designing the JVO components. We plan to construct a JVO-prototype by the end of 2002. |
