Abstract: Yafits is a Distributed Quick Look Viewer (DQLV). Standing close to a set of FITS files stored on a distant server, it offers a rapid data inspection via a web browser client. With Yafits, no sotfware installation and no data download is needed for the user to access the data. Yafits includes a limited number of useful features to explore the data (positions for different projection systems, flux extraction and measurements, statistics of the data...). Yafits is interoperable with applications supporting the SAMP1protocol. This DQLV is used by Artemix (ALMA Remote Data Mining Experiment, http://artemix.obspm.fr) since 2018. It is well suited for archival data inspection, in particular for large files that require large enough RAM memory and computing power. It is build as a composition of Docker images. Yafits is referenced on Zenodo (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.3696974) and accessible on Gitlab (https://gitlab.obspm.fr/artemix/yafits).
