RoboNet-II: Follow-up observations of microlensing events with a robotic network of telescopes
Y. Tsapras, R. Street, K. Horne +20
RoboNet-II uses a global network of robotic telescopes to perform follow-up observations of microlensing events in the Galactic Bulge. The current network consists of three 2m tele…
The web-PLOP observation prioritisation system
Colin Snodgrass, Yiannis Tsapras, Rachel Street +4
We present a description of the automated system used by RoboNet to prioritise follow up observations of microlensing events to search for planets. The system keeps an up-to-date r…
Discovery of a Jupiter/Saturn Analog with Gravitational Microlensing
B. S. Gaudi, D. P. Bennett, A. Udalski +66
Searches for extrasolar planets have uncovered an astonishing diversity of planetary systems, yet the frequency of solar system analogs remains unknown. The gravitational microlens…
Autonomous software: Myth or magic?
Alasdair Allan, Tim Naylor, Eric S. Saunders
We discuss work by the eSTAR project which demonstrates a fully closed loop autonomous system for the follow up of possible micro-lensing anomalies. Not only are the initial micro-…
An Autonomous Adaptive Scheduling Agent for Period Searching
Eric S. Saunders, Tim Naylor, Alasdair Allan
We describe the design and implementation of an autonomous adaptive software agent that addresses the practical problem of observing undersampled, periodic, time-varying phenomena…
ARTEMiS (Automated Robotic Terrestrial Exoplanet Microlensing Search) - A possible expert-system based cooperative effort to hunt for planets of Earth mass and below
M. Dominik, K. Horne, A. Allan +12
(abridged) The technique of gravitational microlensing is currently unique in its ability to provide a sample of terrestrial exoplanets around both Galactic disk and bulge stars, a…
