Starlink



Starlink was set up in 1980 to help astronomers use computers to analyse their observations. It is:

  • A network of computers used by UK astronomers;
  • A collection of software to reduce and analyse astronomical data, and work on some types of theory;
  • A team of people giving hardware, software, and administrative support.

Starlink's main objectives are to:

  • Provide and coordinate interactive data reduction and analysis facilities for use as a research tool by UK astronomers.
  • Encourage software sharing and standardisation to prevent unnecessary duplication of effort.
  • Provide systems software support for astronomers.
