Scientific paper

VST is the acronym for VLT Survey Telescope, a 2.6m wide-field (WF) imaging telescope conceived and built by the INAF-Capodimonte Astronomical Observatory in Naples (INAF-OAC) chiefly to serve the ESO VLT at the Cerro Paranal Observatory. The VST will be equipped with a 16K × 16K mosaic camera built by the European consortium OmegaCam. The system shall cover a corrected field of view of 1 square degree with a pixel scale of 0.21 arcsec. The expected average data rate will be about 150 GB per night; a flood of data implying suitable HW/SW facilities. ESO, operating the telescope at Paranal, will reserve about 20% of the VST observing time to INAF-OAC in return for the procurement of the instrument. The INAF-OAC core program planned for this time includes a galactic and an extragalactic survey, a SN search campaign, and an extended monitoring of the minor bodies of the Solar System. In this paper we describe the data flow, the data model, and the features of the processing system under development.
