pt5m – a 0.5 m robotic telescope on La Palma
pt5m is a 0.5 m robotic telescope located on the roof of the 4.2 mWilliam Herschel Telescope (WHT) building, at the Roque de los Muchachos Observatory, La Palma. Using a five-position filter wheel and CCD detector, and bespoke control software, pt5m provides a high-quality robotic observing facility. The telescope first began robotic observing in 2012, and is now contributing to transient follo...
متن کاملPlant invasion and speciation along elevational gradients on the oceanic island La Palma, Canary Islands
Ecosystems that provide environmental opportunities but are poor in species and functional richness generally support speciation as well as invasion processes. These processes are expected not to be equally effective along elevational gradients due to specific ecological, spatial, and anthropogenic filters, thus controlling the dispersal and establishment of species. Here, we investigate specia...
متن کاملEffect of Atmospheric Conditions on LIBS Spectra
Laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (LIBS) is typically performed at ambient Earth atmospheric conditions. However, interest in LIBS in other atmospheric conditions has increased in recent years, especially for use in space exploration (e.g., Mars and Lunar) or to improve resolution for isotopic signatures. This review focuses on what has been reported about the performance of LIBS in reduced ...
متن کاملAtmospheric stability effects on potential radiological releases at a nuclear research facility in Romania: Characterising the atmospheric mixing state.
A radon-based nocturnal stability classification scheme is developed for a flat inland site near Bucharest, Romania, characterised by significant local surface roughness heterogeneity, and compared with traditional meteorologically-based techniques. Eight months of hourly meteorological and atmospheric radon observations from a 60 m tower at the IFIN-HH nuclear research facility are analysed. H...
متن کاملStudy of the photon flux from the night sky at La Palma and Namibia , in the wavelength region relevant for imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes
The level of the night sky background light at La Palma and Namibia was determined , with emphasis on the wavelength region and solid angle coverage relevant for the operation of imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes. The dependence of the night sky background light both on celestial coordinates (alt, az) and on galactic coordinates (b, l) was measured, with an angular resolution of about 1 ...
