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…
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…
Empirical isochrones and relative ages for young stars, and the radiative-convective gap
N. J. Mayne, Tim Naylor, S. P. Littlefair +2
We have selected pre-main-sequence stars in 12 groups of notional ages ranging from 1 Myr to 35 Myrs, using heterogeneous membership criteria. Using these members we have construct…
Optimal placement of a limited number of observations for period searches
Eric S. Saunders, Tim Naylor, Alasdair Allan
Robotic telescopes present the opportunity for the sparse temporal placement of observations when period searching. We address the best way to place a limited number of observation…
