论文摘要
作为一个领域，天文学长期以来一直在鼓励开发免费的数字基础设施的发展（例如，2010年国家研究委员会，2011年）。示例范围从使个人科学研究通过整个社区的软件工具到降低国家设施的望远镜操作的数据减少管道。与当今大型社会的数字基础设施一样（例如，Eghbal 2016），几乎所有的天文学研究都依赖于少数开发人员编写和维护的免费开源软件（FOSS）。就像道路或桥梁的物理基础设施一样，数字基础设施需要定期维护和维护（例如Eghbal 2016）。在天文学中，维护现有数字基础设施的财务支持通常比为开发新科学的新数字基础设施的资金更难获得。维持天文学的数字基础设施是许多人的新话题，可持续性挑战并不总是广为人知的...
Astronomy, as a field, has long encouraged the development of free, open digital infrastructure (e.g., National Research Council 2010, 2011). Examples range from simple scripts that enable individual scientific research, through software instruments for entire communities, to data reduction pipelines for telescope operations at national facilities. As with the digital infrastructure of our larger society today (e.g., Eghbal 2016), nearly all astronomical research relies on free, open source software (FOSS) written and maintained by a small number of developers. And like the physical infrastructure of roads or bridges, digital infrastructure needs regular upkeep and maintenance (e.g., Eghbal 2016). In astronomy, financial support for maintaining existing digital infrastructure is generally much harder to secure than funding for developing new digital infrastructures that promise new science. Sustaining astronomy's digital infrastructure is a new topic for many, the sustainability challenges are not always widely known...
