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…
An Integer Linear Programming Solution to the Telescope Network Scheduling Problem
Sotiria Lampoudi, Eric Saunders, Jason Eastman
Telescope networks are gaining traction due to their promise of higher resource utilization than single telescopes and as enablers of novel astronomical observation modes. However,…
LCOGT Network Observatory Operations
Andrew Pickles, Annie Hjelstrom, Todd Boroson +11
We describe the operational capabilities of the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network. We summarize our hardware and software for maintaining and monitoring network heal…
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…
