Test use case following
AstroGrid format with some small changes.
Use case: interpreting structure of X-Ray clusters
Description
A user has obtained and analysed a detailed X-Ray image of a galaxy cluster
(see for example Schuecker
et al, 2004) showing small scale
sub-structure. To investigate whether the interpretation in terms
of turbulence is realistic a similar analysis on simulated images is desired. This requires availability of hydro simulations of galaxy clusters with the appropriate physics included and services that can create mock images from this simulation.
primary actor
X-Ray astronomer
End result:
Mock images are obtained from simulated galaxy cluster
ready for comparison to real X-Ray observations.
Other actors:
Simulator
Pre-conditions
-
Flow of events
- User browses registry for appropriate virtual telescope service based on simulation and service meta-data
- Selects service and provides input
- Service executes and provides (links to) results
Post-condition
- Mock images provided in standardized format, for example FITS
Basic assumptions
Alternative flows
