1 GLAST Telescope Network Archiving System Tim Graves Gordon Spear Lynn Cominsky SSU EPO Team

2 The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope A NASA facility-class mission scheduled for launch in 2006. Large Area Telescope Burst Alert Telescope Will observe –Active Galactic Nuclei –Gamma Ray Bursts –Diffuse background emission

3 Swift Gamma Ray Burst Satellite A NASA mission scheduled for launch in September 2003 Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) X-ray Telescope (XRT) Will observe gamma-ray bursts in three parts of the EM Spectrum

4 Active Galactic Nuclei  Galaxies with massive black holes in the center  Gravity is so strong inside its “event horizon” that not even light can escape Credit: J. Bergeron Sky & Telescope

5 Gamma-ray Bursts Largest explosion since the Big Bang A billion trillion times the energy from the Sun Signals the birth of a black hole

6 The GLAST Telescope Network A series of institutional and amateur grade telescopes designed for use by public school students in collaboration with GLAST scientists. All telescopes are 100% accessible from the internet. All data is being archived at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), currently the largest known database in the world.

7 The GTN Prototype Telescope here at SSU A 14’’ Celestron Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope. Paramount ME Telescope mount. High-resolution low- noise Apogee CCD. Nicknamed – “Big Red”

8 The GTN at Kitt Peak National Observatory We are here!

9 Robotically Controlled Telescope (RCT) 1.3 meter telescope 4 megapixel CCD 1/3 of all its time is dedicated to observe Active Galactic Nuclei (major GLAST objective)

10 Archive Development Here at SSU

11 The GTN Archive Client and Server Developed in Java 2 v.1.4.1. 100% platform independent. Features –Automatic FITS header format –FITS header validation –Manual and automatic upload mode –SSL Encrypted Connection –Future elimination of client/server protocol needs with RMI. Server Receives the data from the client and inserts it into the SLAC Database. Client Interface for user Filter for poorly formatted data

12 The GTN Client
