Abstract EN
The Astrophysical Institute Potsdam (AIP) and the Instituto de Astrofísica de Canarias (IAC) inaugurated the robotic telescopes STELLA-I and STELLA-II (STELLar Activity) on Tenerife on May 18, 2006.
The observatory is located on the Izaña ridge at an elevation of 2400 m near the German Vacuum Tower Telescope.
STELLA consists of two 1.2 m alt-az telescopes.
One telescope fiber feeds a bench-mounted high-resolution echelle spectrograph while the other telescope feeds a wide-field imaging photometer.
Both scopes work autonomously by means of artificial intelligence.
Not only that the telescopes are automated, but the entire observatory operates like a robot, and does not require any human presence on site.
