FITS(Flexible Image Transport System) is the most widely used data format in astronomy. The size of one FITS file ranges from Megabytes(MB) to Gigabytes(GB), even to Terabytes(TB), and astronomers are among the first researchers to encounter Big Data. For most cases astronomers are only interested in certain small sub-area of time series image. However loading the whole raw FITS file from HDD(Hard...
Deployed on Dome A of Antarctica, the AST3 astronomical telescopes are required to perform the sky survey in the extreme unmanned environments and process the observed data in real-time to offer the astronomers far back home with the timely observation results. A scalable real-time photometric system is proposed and designed for the automatic astronomical observations of AST3. A GPU-based algorithm...
