ALMA观察支持工具
The ALMA Observation Support Tool
摘要：
ALMA观测支持工具（OST）是一个ALMA模拟器，仅通过标准的Web浏览器进行交互。它针对的用户可能是或可能不是干涉测量专家，或者那些不希望熟悉数据简化包的模拟组件的用户。它被设计为提供完整的成像模拟能力，为任意的ALMA观测，同时保持其他在线工具，如ALMA灵敏度计算器的可访问性。通过在标准Web表单上选择和输入选项来定义模拟作业。用户可以指定ALMA观测需要考虑的标准参数（例如指向方向、频率设置、持续时间），还可以选择以FITS格式上传任意天空模型。一旦提交，作业将由运行基于CASA的后端系统的远程服务器顺序处理。当作业完成时，用户通过电子邮件被通知，并被引导到包含模拟结果和一系列可下载数据产品的标准网页。该系统目前由英国ALMA区域中心托管，可通过将网络浏览器指向http://almaost.jb.man.ac.uk访问。
英文摘要：
The ALMA Observation Support Tool (OST) is an ALMA simulator which is interacted with solely via a standard web browser. It is aimed at users who may or may not be experts in interferometry, or those that do not wish to familarise themselves with the simulation components of a data reduction package. It has been designed to offer full imaging simulation capability for an arbitrary ALMA observation while maintaining the accessibility of other online tools such as the ALMA Sensitivity Calculator. Simulation jobs are defined by selecting and entering options on a standard web form. The user can specify the standard parameters that would need to be considered for an ALMA observation (e.g. pointing direction, frequency set up, duration), and there is also the option to upload arbitrary sky models in FITS format. Once submitted, jobs are sequentially processed by a remote server running a CASA-based back-end system. The user is notified by email when the job is complete, and directed to a standard web page which contains the results of the simulation and a range of downloadable data products. The system is currently hosted by the UK ALMA Regional Centre, and can be accessed by directing a web browser to http://almaost.jb.man.ac.uk.
