The GLORIA demonstrator experiment

GLORIA is the first free and open- access network of robotic telescopes in the world. Using a dedicated Web 2.0 environment GLORIA users will soon be able to do research in astronomy by observing with robotic telescopes, and/or by analysing data that other users have acquired with GLORIA, or from other free access databases, like the European Virtual Observatory.

GLORIA project will define free standards, protocols and methodologies for doing observations with robotic telescopes and for analysis of astronomical data. Free software packages, guidelines and support will be
offered to users doing observations (on-line experiments) and data analysis (off-line experiments) within the network. Dedicated analysis environment LUIZA has been created for flexible analysis of astronomical
images.

GLORIA research-level off-line demonstrator experiment is presented, based on the selected data from the Pi of the Sky telescope in Chile. Thanks to the wide field of view of the telescope the image sample allows for variability analysis of bright variable objects of different kind. Analysis is done using the LUIZA framework, designed within GLORIA for efficient analysis of astronomical data.
