BalticGrid ObjectivesBalticGrid Objectives

■ Sustainable integration of the research and educational computing and communication infrastructure in the Baltic States into the European Grid infrastructure.

■ Enable the formation of effective research collaborations in the Baltic States, within Europe and beyond.

■ Enabling an efficient sharing of unique instruments and data.

BalticGrid ApproachBalticGrid Approach

■ Maximize use of human resources for Grid development and deployment by implementing the Baltic Grid as an extension of EGEE

Grid Operations coordinated with the EGEE North European Regional Operating Centre

■ Assure manageable co-existence with other European Grids

NorduGrid, DEISA, CrossGrid,…■ Engage the Baltic States in Grid related policy

and standards activities

The synthetic spectra modeling

Within the framework of the BalticGrid project the Stellar Spectroscopy group of the Institute of Theoretical Physics and Astronomy of Vilnius university has upgraded and gridified a program package for the synthetic spectra modeling and is using it for:

■ Chemical analysis of Galactic Red clump stars■ Chemical analysis of open clusters in the Galactic disk■ Investigation of chemical evolution of the Galactic thick

disk■ Chemical analysis of stars in neighboring galaxies■ Analysis of chromospherically active stars

The GAIA space observatory will produce a huge amount of data, so we need to be prepared to analyze them.
