Robotically Controlled Telescope

PSI and the RCT Consortium are reconfiguring the 1.3-m telescope on Kitt Peak for automated remote operation. The telescope, now known as the Robotically Controlled Telescope (RCT) will be used for projects including the search for extra-solar planets, the study of active galactic nuclei, starburst galaxies, and follow-up optical observations of gamma-ray bursts.
