Extractions: Session 38.10-13 At the meeting of the American Astronomical Society on Wednesday, May 28, 2003 , session 38 of the lectures dealt with robotic astronomical observatories. New technologies are allowing for the development of completely robotic telescopes and observatories. As telescopes are becoming more automated, onsite human interaction is no longer necessary, thus networking of telescopes and observatories has increased. This rise in networking of telescopes and the impact of the internet are leading to numerous possibilities in astronomy through sharing telescopes and controlling others from across the world. The first abstract dealt with networking telescopes that are controlled robotically. The author states that networking telescopes will provide many benefits astronomy, as the network will make possible continuous observing without the interference of daytime. Telescopes around the world will also allow quick response time to events that last only briefly. In order to accomplish this networking of observatories, the author proposes the establishment of standards for telescope commands and control systems. Combining several telescopes for continuous observing will also require observing specifications and reports on the results to ensure the data can be analyzed accurately. In theory, a worldwide network of observatories and telescopes will provide great advantages for furthering the science of astronomy. Continuous observing with telescopes around the world will allow more complete observations of astronomical phenomenon, especially transient events. Providing access to other telescopes on such a network will also allow individuals to carry out more extensive research from their own area, as well as have access to a variety of telescopes, filters, cameras, and other technical equipment they may not have available

Extractions: World's largest astronomical observatories now accessible over Internet2 A new high-performance Internet connection announced today will transform the ability of astronomers to access world-leading telescopes located on the peak of Mauna Kea on the Island of Hawaii. The University of Hawaii and the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) have connected eleven of the world's leading astronomical observatories to Internet2 networks via the Mauna Kea Observatories Communication Network (MKOCN). With a capacity of 45 million bits per second, the new link will dramatically expand the capacity of astronomers around the world to remotely use telescopes located on the Hawaii mountaintop. The connection, which is nearly one thousand times faster than a typical modem, expands access to telescopes situated on Mauna Kea in a variety of ways. Dr. Frederic H. Chaffee, Director of the Keck Observatory, observed that "this new high-speed link will bring us all closer to our user communities on the mainland. In certain applications it will be possible for astronomers with access to Internet2 networks to 'observe' with the Keck telescopes from authorized mainland sites. In addition, we can use the link to participate in technical collaborations via videoconferencing without ever leaving our headquarters in Waimea. The potential of the new high-speed connection is enormous." Astronomers around the world are also now able to connect in real time to the Gemini North control center in the University of Hawaii at Hilo Research Park. According to Gemini Operations Manager Jim Kennedy "the new link will be crucial in coordinating advanced communications and scientific activities when our high-performance connection is completed to the Gemini South facility in Chile." The Gemini telescopes in Hawaii and Chile are part of a multi-national effort to build twin 8.1 meter astronomical telescopes.

The subdivision of the electromagnetic spectrum into wavelength regimes is in part just a matter of convention, but there are also natural causes for a logical subdivision. The most important determining factor in this subdivision is the transparency of our atmosphere: One can see that the atmosphere is transparent in only two wavebands: the optical and the radio regime. There is another band near 10 micrometer wavelength (which is in the so-called "mid-infrared" regime) and a few more narrow windows down to 1 micrometer at which also more than 90% of the incoming light can pass through. In using specialized telescopes for observations of radiation with various wavelengths we are following a good example established by mother nature: The adaptation of our eyes to the maximum of solar light emission, which lies in the area that we call (quite suggestively) "visible light" (or also "optical light"). One can truely consider the wavebands in which the atmosphere is transparent "windows" to the Universe through which we are looking. Conversely, the plot above makes it evident that most cosmic radiation does
