Observatory System of Systems Observatory Systems of Systems OVERVIEW Goal: Leverage astronomical community’s plan to develop a: synoptic survey telescope (LSST) interactive web-based access to massive archival databases (NVO) world’s premiere observation site and largest in-place telescope investment (Mauna Kea) wide-band remote access to telescopes, computing centers, and databases (Internet2) state-of-the-art high performance computing center (MHPCC) into a new model of a system-of-systems observatory that would generate a dramatic change in both: how observational astronomy is conducted, and what we understand of our universe. Request: $5M in FY-02 to provide developmental funding to capture a ~ $200M out-year program for Hawaii-based organizations. FY-03 and 04 needed funding would be approximately $10M each year to bring the  initiative to fruition. Observatory Systems of Systems Components Systems: LSST - Large-aperture Synoptic Survey Telescope (6.5M) NVO - National Virtual Observatory (Petabytes of data) Mauna Kea family of Observatories - Infrared Telescope Facility (3.0M) Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (3.6M) United Kingdom Infrared Telescope (3.8M) Keck I II (10M/10M) Subaru telescope (8.3M) Gemini North (8M) Maui Supercomputer Center (2.2 teraflops) Internet 2 (bandwidth) Observatory complex system of systemsfor which the telescopeand instrument isonly the front-end Observatory Systems of Systems Concept Observatory Systems of Systems LSST - overview Parameters - Telescope Class - 6.5 meter class (50m2 collecting area) , 3 deg FOV Instrument - 24 magnitude sensitivity, 50,000 x 50,000 pixels Data Rate - 20,000 deg2/week, terabytes/day Data Storage - 1+ petabyte Cost - ~$150M, funding - NSF/NASA/other non-government Area of Investigation opens up the field of time-domain astronomy - revolutionize knowledge of astronomical source that vary or move on short time-scales (e.g. - movies versus still p
