论文摘要
天文台的端到端科学操作是从科学问题开始的总体过程，该过程由要求观察时间的提案表示，并以观察数据的分析来解决该问题，并包括计划，计划，获得和处理这些观察结果所需的所有中间步骤。越来越复杂的观察设施需要高效的科学操作方法，同时对天文学用户社区友好，并实现了最高的科学回报。因此，此过程得到了一系列工具的支持。在本文中，我们描述了三个即将到来的非常大的望远镜（ELT），ESO的ELT，30米望远镜（TMT）和巨型Magellan望远镜（GMT）的总体端到端过程及其实施。
Observatory end-to-end science operations is the overall process starting with a scientific question, represented by a proposal requesting observing time, and ending with the analysis of observation data addressing that question, and including all the intermediate steps needed to plan, schedule, obtain, and process these observations. Increasingly complex observing facilities demand a highly efficient science operations approach and at the same time be user friendly to the astronomical user community and enable the highest possible scientific return. Therefore, this process is supported by a collection of tools. In this paper, we describe the overall end-to-end process and its implementation for the three upcoming extremely large telescopes (ELTs), ESO's ELT, the Thirty Meter Telescope (TMT), and the Giant Magellan Telescope (GMT).
