Definiciones básicas

La Astrofísica se refiere al estudio de la física del Universo. Si bien se usó originalmente para denominar la parte teórica de dicho estudio, la necesidad de dar explicación física a las observaciones astronómicas ha llevado a que los términos Astronomía y Astrofísica sean usados de manera equivalente. La Astronomía (o Astrofísica) Robótica es pues el estudio de los cuerpos celestes del Universo ayudándose de instrumentación robótica, en sus diversos grados de desarrollo que veremos a continuación.

La Astronomía es la ciencia que se ocupa del estudio de los cuerpos celestes, sus movimientos, los fenómenos ligados a ellos, su registro y la investigación de su origen a partir de la información que llega de ellos a través de la radiación electromagnética o de cualquier otro medio.

Parte I. Introducción

Robotic Astronomical Observatories worldwide

More than 100 instruments so far

Robotic Astronomical Observatories in Spain

Around 40 in Europe and half (!) in SPAIN

Observatory Managers Four widely spread

AUDELA: Developed by A. Klotz et al. (Toulouse), starting in 1995. Open source code. Linux/Windows.

ASCOM: Dessigned in 1998, by B. Denny (USA), as an interface standard for astronomical equipment, based on MS's Component Object Model, which he called the Astronomy Common Object Model. Mostly used by amateur astronomers, has been also used by professionals. Windows. Widely used in SN, MP searches.

RTS2: The Robotic Telescope System version 2, is being developed by P. Kubánek, (Ondrejov/Granada) starting in 2000. Open source code. Linux/Windows (command line and graphical interface foreseen). Widely used in GRB searches.

INDI: The Instrument Neutral Distributed Interface (INDI) was started in 2003. In comparison to the Microsoft Windows centric ASCOM standard, INDI is a platform independent protocol developed by E. C. Downey (USA). Open source code. Not so widely spread as the upper layer interface was not done.
