The RRRT construction
is funded by Norfolk State University, with
important contributions from NSF-MRI and
NASA-MUCERPI grants. |
|
|
This is the
home of Norfolk State University's Rapid
Response Robotic Telescope |
| NSU Rapid
Response Robotic Telescope (RRRT) will
be
located at Fan Mountain Observatory, Covesville, Virginia, USA (left picture). |
|
The RRRT will be a fully
automated 24" RC telescope dedicated to the
study of astronomical transient phenomena.
Current projects include the
photometry and polarimetry of Gamma-ray
Bursts optical afterglows, compact stars,
near-earth objects (NEO), Blazars and
searches for supernovae and exo-planets.
Partners with
Norfolk State University on the RRRT
operation are the Department of Astronomy
at the University of Virginia and the
Back Bay Amateur Astronomers. |
