An upgraded 0.4-meter telescope fleet for Las Cumbres Observatory's Educational and Science Programs
Daniel-Rolf Harbeck, Brook Taylor, Annie Kirby +20
Las Cumbres Observatory (LCOGT) operates a global network of robotic 0.4, 1.0, and 2.0-meter telescopes to facilitate scientific research and education in time-domain astronomy. LC…
Automatic Spectroscopic Data Reduction using BANZAI
Curtis McCully, Matthew Daily, G. Mirek Brandt +3
Time domain astronomy has both increased the data volume and the urgency of data reduction in recent years. Spectra provide key insights into astrophysical phenomena but require co…
TOI-1749: an M dwarf with a Trio of Planets including a Near-Resonant Pair
A. Fukui, J. Korth, J. H. Livingston +65
We report the discovery of one super-Earth- (TOI-1749b) and two sub-Neptune-sized planets (TOI-1749c and TOI-1749d) transiting an early M dwarf at a distance of 100~pc, which were…
Real-time processing of the imaging data from the network of Las Cumbres Observatory Telescopes using BANZAI
Curtis McCully, Nikolaus H. Volgenau, Daniel-Rolf Harbeck +5
Work in time-domain astronomy necessitates robust, automated data processing pipelines that operate in real time. We present the BANZAI pipeline which processes the thousands of sc…
General-Purpose Software for Managing Astronomical Observing Programs in the LSST Era
R. A. Street, M. Bowman, E. S. Saunders +1
Modern astronomical surveys such as the Large Synoptic Sky Survey (LSST) promise an unprecedented wealth of discoveries, delivered in the form of ~10 million alerts of time-variabl…
Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network
T. M. Brown, N. Baliber, F. B. Bianco +52
Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope (LCOGT) is a young organization dedicated to time-domain observations at optical and (potentially) near-IR wavelengths. To this end, LCOGT…
