The Rubin Auxiliary Telescope (AuxTel) recently outfitted with several new hardware components
September 26, 2023
The Rubin Auxiliary Telescope (AuxTel) was recently outfitted with several new hardware components, which the AuxTel team has been testing in observing runs. One component is a mask for spectroscopy, which helps limit sky background and the impact of field stars in the spectrum, making analysis easier and more precise. Another addition is a specific device for flat-fielding for spectroscopy, and a third is a new hologram which is almost identical to the one currently in use – after being tested on sky, this hologram will be kept on the summit as a spare … Read More
July 2023 The establishment of this Point of Presence (PoP) signifies a significant milestone, marking the first instance where a node within a National Research and Education Network is operational at an altitude surpassing 5,000 meters above sea level. Its primary objective is to interconnect approximately twelve astronomical projects, strategically located near ALMA. These projects represent the scientific interests of countries spanning Asia, Europe, North and South America. The PoP will integrate seamlessly with the REUNA high-speed network, enabling the near real-time transmission of generated data to any part of the world as needed. Moreover, the robust and low-latency connectivity provided by this PoP will empower these research centers to operate their instruments remotely, optimizing resource utilization and ensuring uninterrupted functionality, even in the face of extreme geographical and environmental conditions … Read More on Spanish
