RIFT: A Robotic Telescope System for Cosmic Transients
2020-03-04 14:00 - 15:30
Abstract
RIFT is the abbreviation of Robotic Imagers For Transients, which will be the first robotic multiple-telescope observatory dedicated to the study of multi-messenger transients in Taiwan. The project has been approved by MOST and will be funded through the Young Scholar Fellowship Program, hopefully from 2020. In this talk, I will present the configuration of RIFT, our five-year plan, and the science that RIFT can do.
