1 Robo-AO Network Reed L. Riddle Workshop on Astronomy with Adaptive Optics on Moderate Sized Telescopes IUCAA, Pune, India August 24, 2011
2 Collaborative groups Can only do science Astronomy Networks - With more than one site - Over a long time - With similar or different instrumentation - Some (or all) of the above, and other reasons Loose or structured organizations - AAVSO - VLBI - DSN - GONG - And many more...
3 Whole Earth Telescope Astronomers from around the world
4 Founded in U. Texas at Austin Whole Earth Telescope Observe pulsating stars - Relative photometry measurements - Heterogenous instruments - Continuous observation of pulsation modes - Break daily aliasing Central manned command center Groundbreaking science - Understanding of white dwarf structures - First (only?) planet around evolved (sdb) star
5 TMT Site Testing Program Operational 2003 to Mauna Kea seeing monitor continues Automated stations - Remote stations - Human monitoring, management - Homogenous instrumentation
6 Setup at Armazones 30 m tower MASS/DIMM telescope On 6.5 m tower Sonic anemometers and Temperature sensors All-sky camera Weather station IRMA Solar panels SODAR (SFAS)
7 TMT Site Testing Program Operational 2003 to Mauna Kea seeing monitor continues Automated stations - Remote stations - Human monitoring, management - Homogenous instrumentation Central monitoring through a website Most comprehensive site testing program ever undertaken
8 Automated operations - No human interference Robo-AO Operations TCP/IP based communications system Queue schedule LGS firing controlled by US STRATCOM Efficient observations of science targets
9 Robo-AO as Part of the Community
10 Robo-AO as Part of the Community
11 Robo-AO as Part of the Community
12 Centralizing Operations Options for centralized operations - Central management of US STRATCOM interactions - Collaborative observations Loose Tightly managed - Transient follow up - Others? Science will drive level of network observations Central control system can drive remote Robo-AO systems
13 Robo-AO Network and US STRATCOM US NSF funded institutions have to go through STRATCOM for satellite safety - Three day delay between submitting targets and observations - May be upgraded in the future to allow receiving closure windows during operations Central control system - Single point communications Make USAF happy - Simpler handling of space events
14 Collaborative Observations Robo-AO based systems - Similar operational capabilities - May host different instruments Observation campaigns - Heterogenous instruments examining single target - Homogenous instruments examining multiple targets Time critical observations not available at a telescope Shared observations between Robo-AO instruments - Planet transit
15 Robo-AO and Transients Palomar Transit Factory has shown the universe is continually changing - Much to be learned from transitory events Robo-AO can do rapid robotic follow up to transients - US STRATCOM 3 day limit, for now Network can follow up with more flexibility - Select best site, or multiple sites - Select best instrument(s) - Set appropriate observing parameters - Control follow up observations going forward
16 Upgrading Robo-AO for Networks Queue system can accept new targets - Target priority set independently - Updates immediately TCP/IP communications - Direct external input Need central control software - Monitor Robo-AO systems - Manage operations - How much local vs. central control? That depends on partner agreements...
17 Conclusion Scientific reasons for observing networks Robo-AO may have scientific and operational reasons - Managing US STRATCOM interactions - Collaborative observations - Transits Robo-AO software has built in potential for network operations - Massive amount of scientific observations possible How to manage network? How to share time? - To be determined when there is more than one Robo-AO
