Abstract:

AbstractDuring the 1990s groups at universities around the world developed small working automated/robotic telescopes that proved the feasibility of using such systems for education and research projects. A few of the more successful projects such as the Bradford Robotic Observatory in the United Kingdom and the University of Iowa’s Automated Telescope Facility (AFT) and Iowa Robotic Observatory (IRO) programs proved how useful and powerful these systems can be in practice. This paper describes how one company, Torus Technologies, developed hardware and software technologies to create the most

The Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) inaugurated the robotic telescopes STELLA-I and STELLA-II (STELLar Activity) on Tenerife on May 18, 2006. The observatory is located on the Izaña ridge at an elevation of 2400 m near the German Vacuum Tower Telescope. STELLA consists of two 1.2 m alt-az telescopes. One telescope fiber feeds a bench-mounted high-resolution echelle spectrograph while the other telescope feeds a wide-field imaging photometer. Both scopes work autonomously by means of artificial intelligence. Not only that the telescopes a

Context. The ability to automatically select scientifically-important transient events from an alert stream of many such events, and to conduct follow-up observations in response, will become increasingly important in astronomy. With wide-angle time domain surveys pushing to fainter limiting magnitudes, the capability to follow-up on transient alerts far exceeds our follow-up telescope resources, and effective target prioritization becomes essential. The RoboNet-II microlensing program is a pathfinder project, which has developed an automated target selection process (RoboTAP) for gravitationa

AbstractLas Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network (LCOGT) is currently building a new kind of general-purpose astronomical facility: a fully robotic network of telescopes of 2m, 1m and 0.4m apertures and homogeneous instrumentation. A pan-network approach to scheduling (rather than per individual telescope) offers redundancy in the event of poor weather or technical failure, as well as the ability to observe a target around the clock. Here we describe the network design and instrumentation under development, together with the main science programmes already being lead by LCOGT staff.

Autonomous robotic observatories can use modern communications to receive pertinent information from institutes that generate events to observe (e.g., supernovae, near-earth asteroids, gravitational lensings, and gamma-ray bursts).

We give explanations of some basic and advanced protocols to receive events and how to implement them in a robotic observatory software.

Flaring activity of Active Galactic Nuclei (AGN) in VHE γ-ray astronomy is observed on timescales from minutes to years and can be explained either by the interaction of relativistic jets with the surrounding material or by imprints of the central engine, like temporal modulation caused by binary systems of supermassive black holes. The key to answer those questions lies in combining 24/7 monitoring with short high sensitivity exposures as provided by the third generation γ-ray astronomy instruments like MAGIC, VERITAS and H.E.S.S.

The era of occultation astronomy, studying dark objects by observing occultations of bright ones, has begun. The paper of Duncan, Quinn and Tremarne, “The Origin of Short-Period Comets”, Astrophys. J. Letters, 328, 69-73 (1988), greatly improved the prospects for occultation astronomy by demonstrating the existence of a second comet reservoir, the Kuiper Belt, much closer to us than the Oort Cloud and concentrated toward the ecliptic plane. Charles Alcock at Livermore (private communication) has begun work on a practical system of small telescopes to observe occultations of stars by comets. I

Abstract:

By the continuous multi-line observation of the solar atmosphere, it is possible to infer the magnetic and dynamical status of the Sun. This activity is essential to identify the possible precursors of space weather events, such as flare or coronal mass ejections. We describe the design and assembly of TSST (Tor Vergata Synoptic Solar Telescope), a robotic synoptic telescope currently composed of two main full-disk instruments, a Hα telescope and a Potassium (KI D1) magneto-optical filter (MOF)-based telescope operating at 769.9 nm. TSST is designed to be later upgraded with a second MOF chann

Abstract:

A group of universities have come together with the aim of designing and developing small aperture robotic telescopes (SmART) for use by students to observe variable stars and transient follow-ups. The group is deliberating on the components of the robotic system e.g. the telescope, the mount, the back-end camera, control software etc and their integration keeping in mind the scientific objectives. The Marburg group is studying variable stars using photometric and spectroscopic observations in a small local observatory and via analysis of photo plate archival data mainly from Sonneberg observa

AbstractPLATO is a 6 tonne completely self-contained robotic observatory that provides its own heat, electricity, and satellite communications. It was deployed to Dome A in Antarctica in January 2008 by the Chinese expedition team, and is now in its second year of operation. PLATO is operating four 14.5cm optical telescopes with 1k × 1k CCDs, a wide-field sky camera with a 2k × 2k CCD and Sloan g, r, i filters, a fibre-fed spectrograph to measure the UV to near-IR sky spectrum, a 0.2m terahertz telescope, two sonic radars giving 1m resolution data on the boundary layer to a height of 180m, a 1

Abstract:

AbstractWe have developed and tested a new near infrared camera equipped with a 512 × 512 PtSi CCD and cooled by two independent Stirling Cycle refrigerators. The camera, installed on the 60 cm reflector telescope of the Nishi-Harima Astronomical Observatory (NHAO) since April 2000, has begun regular observations toward infrared objects. Since the reasonable cost and lower maintenance needs of the camera make it more attractive, we introduce it as an alternative to robotic telescopes.

Abstract:

The Lijiang 2.4-m telescope was built and opened to astronomers since 2008, now there are several instruments installed at the telescope. The control system of the 2.4-m telescope was designed to be operated in robotic mode as the Liverpool telescope, but due to many reasons it didn’t achieve robotic mode until now. After we upgraded the fold mirror by adding a rapid instrument exchanging system at the Cassegrain focus in 2012, now we can have up to 9 instruments on the telescope at the same time, but the control system for the instrument is still specific for each instrument.

Abstract:

We report on the first observational phase of the Liverpool Quasar Lens Monitoring (LQLM) project. This mainly consisted of the optical follow-up of three lensed quasars using the 2 m Liverpool Robotic Telescope. The observational subprogram started in January 2005 and was completed in July 2007. We also describe our photometric approaches (including two pipelines to extract accurate and reliable fluxes of images of lensed quasars), the performance of the telescope when taking modest nightly exposures of lens systems, and the main scientific results from the observed light curves.
