Telescopes in the world Lison Malo Student CRAQ workshop
Telescopes • CFHT** (Infrared + optical) • DAO** • IRTF** (Infrared) • Gemini** (optical + infrared) • NOAO (North+South, Keck, Subaru) • ESO** • SAAO (SALT+others) • San Petro Martir • X-ray (Chandra) • Radio? • JCMT • **: remote or queue observing
Small automatic telescopes • OGLE (optical gravitational lensing experiment) UBVRI • ASAS (All sky automated survey) V and I bands • Skynet (Prompt) • REM (Rapid Eye Mount) • Las Cumbres observatories
Phase I: Writting a proposal • When: before the end of September or end of March • Where: Interface web or latex template (check web sites) • How: - Science justification + reference • - Technical justification • - List of Targets (check archive PIT_GEMINI) • - Telescope justification
Phase 2: Setup the observations • Target selection (depends on schedule) • Exposure time + overheads = Signal to noise ratio • Program description • Contact your instrument scientist • Finder charts
Phase 3: Data and Reduction • Retrieve your data • Reduction package from the observatory • Ask students, post-doc (list available)
Archive • CADC • VizieR+ESO • Gemini • UKIDSS • ING archive • GATOR • SDSS • NED (galactic)
Questions? • Radio & X-rays • Others observatories • X-rays: XMM -> proposal deadline: October • Chandra -> proposal deadline: Mars
