The ArgusSpec Prototype: Autonomous Spectroscopic Follow-up of Flares Detected by Large Array Telescopes
Nathan W. Galliher, Thomas Procter, Nicholas M. Law +7
ArgusSpec is a prototype autonomous spectroscopic follow-up instrument designed to characterize flares detected by the Argus Pathfinder telescope array by taking short exposure (30…
Packing the sky: coverage optimization and evaluation for large telescope arrays
Nathan W. Galliher, Nicholas M. Law, Hank Corbett +3
Recent advancements in low-cost astronomical equipment, including high-quality medium-aperture telescopes and low-noise CMOS detectors, have made the deployment of large optical te…
The inside-out, upside-down telescope: the Argus Array's new pseudofocal design
Nicholas Law, Alan Vasquez Soto, Hank Corbett +4
The Argus Optical Array will be the first all-sky, arcsecond-resolution, 5-m class telescope. The 55 GPix Array, currently being prototyped, will consist of 900 telescopes with 61…
The sky at one terabit per second: Architecture and implementation of the Argus Array Hierarchical Data Processing System
Hank Corbett, Alan Vasquez Soto, Lawrence Machia +3
The Argus Optical Array is a synoptic survey observatory, currently in development, that will have a total collecting area equivalent to a 5-meter monolithic telescope and an all-s…
