论文摘要
Skynet机器人望远镜网络建于2004年,最初由位于智利安第斯山脉的塞罗 - 托洛洛(Cerro-Tololo)跨美国天文台组成的六个0.4 M望远镜组成。该网络旨在在仅数十秒钟老时进行同时对伽马射线爆发(GRB)的多波长观测。迄今为止,该网络已扩展到约20台望远镜,其中包括20 m射电望远镜,这些望远镜跨越了四大洲和五个国家。广告系列经理(CM)是为天网开发的新观察模式。 CM半自治,无限期地尺度和计划在观察者上曝光,同时允许修改以实时缩放参数。 CM可用于跟进各种瞬时现象,包括重力波事件,GRB定位,年轻的超新星以及最终,充分明亮的Argus光学阵列和大型的概要调查望远镜事件。
Built in 2004, the Skynet robotic telescope network originally consisted of six 0.4 m telescopes located at the Cerro-Tololo Inter-American Observatory in the Chilean Andes. The network was designed to carry out simultaneous multi-wavelength observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) when they are only tens of seconds old. To date, the network has been expanded to ~20 telescopes, including a 20 m radio telescope, that span four continents and five countries. The Campaign Manager (CM) is a new observing mode that has been developed for Skynet. Available to all Skynet observers, the CM semi-autonomously and indefinitely scales and schedules exposures on the observer's behalf while allowing for modification to scaling parameters in real time. The CM is useful for follow up to various transient phenomena including gravitational-wave events, GRB localizations, young supernovae, and eventually, sufficiently bright Argus Optical Array and Large Synoptic Survey Telescope events.
