Remote Telescopes in Education VSA 2006 Remote Telescopes in Education How Apollo Asteroid 2003 QA was discovered…

where? what? why? RESULTS! VSA 2006

Why to use them in school? - stimulate interest in science - hands-on experience - etc. etc. Problem: It is not dark during school hours! Solution: Other side of the world = remote control VSA 2006

Example… School in Europe  Telescopes on Hawaii and in Australia VSA 2006

Morning in Europe school starts in Europe night starts on Hawaii, not yet in Australia VSA 2006

Noon in Europe night on Hawaii and in Australia VSA 2006

Evening in Europe still night in Australia VSA 2006

Remote? Automatic? Robotic? Chapter 2: Definition: remote, automatic, robotic Remote? Automatic? Robotic? Hawaii Internet Croatia manual automatic robotic manual automatic robotic Locally accessed Remotely accessed VSA 2006

Possible projects Comet and Asteroid studies: discovery of new objects follow-up of newly discovered NEOs lightcurve work monitoring comets (Af[rho]…) Hunting for Supernovae Variable star work Gamma Ray Bursts – optical afterglow hunting VSA 2006

The Faulkes Telescope Project two 2-m telescopes Hawaii and Australia largest telescopes in the world dedicated to education 10 Mio British Pounds open to UK schools VSA 2006

Faulkes Telescope North on Hawaii VSA 2006

Faulkes Telescope South in Australia VSA 2006

Visnjan School of Astronomy Robotic Telescope Group VSA 2006

Visnjan Observatory Robotic Telescope VSA 2006

VSA 2006

The NEO group at VSA 2003 Students: Petra Korlevic (Croatia) Brigitta Sipocz (Hungary) Zsolt Diveki (Yugoslavia) 41-cm f/4.3 reflector + 1k1k CCD „Telescope operator“: Korado Korlevic VSA 2006

Forest fires on Istria + burned mainboard 30-cm f/9 telescope + 1k1k CCD at OAM made available for VSA remotely controlled over Internet from Visnjan first mission in education first time controlled by students VSA 2006

C/2001 K5 (LINEAR) on 2003 08 13.8 (2100) Ra-Shalom VSA 2006

The field… VSA 2006

The field… close-up VSA 2006

Excitement after lunch – a second object! no ID inside Astrometrica/MPCorb all images measured no ID inside MPChecker looks like an unknown NEO quick email to MPC added onto NEOCP VSA 2006

MPC mainpage at 19:15 UT VSA 2006

NEOCP at 19:15 UT VSA 2006

NEOCP results at 19:15 UT VSA 2006

NEOCP uncertainty map at 19:15 UT VSA 2006

MPC mainpage at 21:20 UT VSA 2006

NEOCP at 21:20 UT VSA 2006

How to get it published before end of VSA the next day? many solutions possible we must constrain the range of possible geocentric distances simultaneous observations from Visnjan and Mallorca! slyone C2003 08 17.87334 20 52 00.49 +37 23 09.5 16.8 R 120 slyone C2003 08 17.87336 20 52 00.93 +37 23 11.2 16.6 R 620 slyone C2003 08 17.87725 20 52 01.10 +37 22 48.3 17.1 R 620 slyone C2003 08 17.87726 20 52 00.72 +37 22 46.3 17.3 R 120 slyone C2003 08 17.87931 20 52 00.76 +37 22 34.0 17.1 R 120 slyone C2003 08 17.87936 20 52 01.19 +37 22 35.8 16.8 R 620 Geocentric distance = 0.26 AU  NEO and km-sized VSA 2006

Conclusions You need to invest a lot of work initially! But… Remote Telescopes are useful Remote Telescopes are effective Prototype  Cloning! VSA 2006

Cloning… Thank you… questions? VSA 2006
