Telescope Fabra ROA Montsec: a new robotic wide-field Baker-Nunn facility
O. Fors, J. Núñez, J. L. Muiños +7
A Baker-Nunn Camera (BNC), originally installed at the Real Instituto y Observatorio de la Armada (ROA) in 1958, was refurbished and robotized. The new facility, called Telescope F…
The Fabra-ROA Telescope at Montsec (TFRM): A Fully Robotic Wide-field Telescope for Space Surveillance and Tracking
F. J. Montojo, O. Fors, J. L. Muinos +6
Since the beginning of the Space Age optical sensors have been one of the main instruments for positioning and tracking known space objects. Nowadays, the unrelenting growth of man…
Status of Telescope Fabra ROA at Montsec: Optical Observations for Space Surveillance & Tracking
O. Fors, F. J. Montojo, J. Nunez +5
The telescope Fabra ROA at Montsec (TFRM) is a 0.5m f/1 refurbished Baker-Nunn Camera (BNC) operated by a collaboration between the Fabra Observatory - Royal Academy of Arts and Sc…
The Fabra-ROA Baker-Nunn Camera at Observatori Astronòmic del Montsec: a wide-field imaging facility for exoplanet transit detection
O. Fors, J. Núñez, J. L. Muiños +5
A number of Baker-Nunn Camera (BNC) were manufactured by Smithsonian Institution during the 60s as optical tracking systems for artificial satellites with optimal optical and mecha…
A new wavelet-based approach for the automated treatment of large sets of lunar occultation data
O. Fors, A. Richichi, X. Otazu +1
The introduction of infrared arrays for lunar occultations (LO) work and the improvement of predictions based on new deep IR catalogues have resulted in a large increase in the num…
The Calar Alto lunar occultation program: update and new results
A. Richichi, O. Fors, M. Merino +6
We present an update of the lunar occultation program which is routinely carried out in the near-IR at the Calar Alto Observatory. A total of 350 events were recorded since our las…
Infrared and visual lunar occultations measurements of stellar diameters and new binary stars detections at the Calar Alto 1.5m telescope
O. Fors, A. Richichi, J. Nunez +1
We present a program of routine lunar occultations, at optical and near-IR wavelengths, recently started at the 1.5m Spanish telescope at the Calar Alto Observatory. Both a CCD and…
CCD drift-scan imaging lunar occultations: a feasible approach for sub-meter class telescopes
O. Fors, J. Nunez, A. Richichi
A CCD drift-scanning technique for lunar occultation (LO) observations is presented. While this approach has been addressed before by Sturmann (1994) for the case of large telescop…
