Abstract:
A new astronomical system is nearing completion at U.N.S.W. in which a charge coupled device (CCD) array detector is matched to a Schmidt telescope, with the observations completely analyzed on-line. We have modified a Baker-Nunn satellite tracking camera, with its excellent 0.5m, f/1 super-Schmidt optics, converting it into a computer-controlled equatorially-mounted astronomical telescope. The telescope is expected to be located at Siding Spring Observatory in north-western New South Wales.

Abstract:
AbstractThe Automated Patrol Telescope (APT) is a wide-field CCD imaging telescope operated by the University of New South Wales at Siding Spring Observatory in Australia. The optical design employed resembles that of a Schmidt, but uses a 3-element lens to achieve a wide, corrected field of view. The APT was developed by extensively modifying the optical, mechanical and electronic systems of a Baker-Nunn satellite tracking camera. Telescope motion and operation of the CCD have been placed under computer control, allowing automated observations for longterm survey and monitoring projects. The

Abstract:
Abstract The University of NSW Automated Patrol Telescope (APT), a modified 0.5 m Baker-Nunn Schmidt telescope situated at Siding Spring Observatory, Coonabarabran, Australia, was opened in June 1989. It features the unique combination of an extremely fast (f/1) optical system with a CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) camera at the prime focus, capable of both fast (50 Hz TV-rate) imaging and slow-scan integrated readout via a low noise Correlated Double Sampling amplifier. This combination of optics and detector gives a wide field (0.9° × 1.4°) suited to observing extended objects including the LMC,

AbstractA simple circuit has been designed for reading out at TV rate the two-dimensional CCD on the Automated Patrol Telescope. Because it is controlled by a programmable Cathode Ray Tube Controller integrated circuit it is very flexible and applicable to frame transfer CCDs having a wide range of formats.

While the primary objective of DEEP-South is the physical characterization of small Solar System bodies, it is also expected to discover a large number of such bodies, many of them previously unknown.

Abstract:
AbstractIn May 1984 site testing began for the Automated Patrol Telescope. A series of atmospheric extinction and night sky brightness measurements were made over the following year at Parkes and Siding Spring Mountain using B and V filters. Parkes revealed an extinction greater than that of Siding Spring and more prone to variation. Results for the night sky brightness indicated Parkes has a sky slightly brighter than that at Siding Spring. The paper discusses the procedures used for obtaining the results and their limitations.

AbstractRelative efficiencies for the discovery of Earth-crossing asteroids (ECAs) are modelled for various telescopes at Siding Spring. It is found that the narrow-field instruments—the Anglo-Australian Telescope and the 40 in and 2·3m reflectors—are not competitive in this regard for present CCD imaging systems. The UK Schmidt Telescope (UKST), if used to take short-exposure stereo pairs of photographs, would be an effective search tool, outperforming all current systems apart from the Ground-based Electro-Optical Deep Space Surveillance (GEODSS) systems now being implemented by the US Air F

Abstract:
AbstractThe University of NSW’s Automated Patrol Telescope is a modified Baker-Nunn satellite tracking camera, now used for CCD imaging of astronomical objects. The f/1 Baker-Nunn optical design gives a 30° field of view with an approximately spherical focal surface of radius ≈500 mm. While the focal plane curvature is tolerable across the 1.4° × 1.0° field of the present CCD, it becomes unacceptable when a larger CCD is used. In addition, the use of glass filters in the highly convergent beam produces intolerable spherical aberration. We present a design modification to the original Baker-Nun

We surveyed the central 3° × 6° region of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) with angular resolution of 10″.0 at the J(1.25μm), H(1.65μm) and K′(2.15μm) bands. The observations were performed from Oct to Nov, 1994 at the Siding Spring Observatory. We used a 25 cm/F3.5 Newtonian telescope equipped with a 512×512 PtSi-Camera (Ueno et al. 1992). The plate scale was 4.″6 × 6.″0/pixel and the total field of view was 40.′2 × 52.′3. The system was attached onto the Automated Patrol Telescope of the University of New South Wales. The limiting magnitudes of the survey were 13.6, 11.9, and 10.0 magnitude

Abstract:
In the past decade some 150 planets have been detected outside our Solar System, mostly via precise radial-velocity measurements of their host stars. Using an alternative method, transit searches have recently added 6 planets to the tally, and are expected to make more significant contributions in the future. The transit method is based on the detection of the tiny, periodic dip in the apparent brightness of a star when an orbiting planet passes in front of it. It requires intensive photometric monitoring of ??? 104 stars, with a precision better than ??? 1%. The 0.5 m Automated Patrol Telesco

To date, more than 300 planets orbiting stars other than our sun have been discovered using a range of observing techniques, with new discoveries occuring monthly. The work in this thesis focused on the detection of exoplanets using the transit method. Planets orbiting close to their host stars have a roughly 10 per cent chance of eclipsing (transiting) the star, with Jupiter?sized planets causing a one per cent dip in the flux of the star over a few hours. A wealth of orbital and physical information on the system can be extracted from these systems, including the planet density which is esse
