Abstract
AbstractA remotely-controlled observing station, the Kenting Observatory, has been established in the Kenting National Park, at the southern tip of Taiwan. There are four observing systems at the Observatory: (1) a Meade 16-inch reflector with an SBIG spectrograph plus an SBIG STV; (2) an RC-16inch reflector with an FLI CCD; (3) a Celestron 14-inch with an ST-7E CCD; and (4) a Binocular system of two Canon F1.8 telephoto lens with two FLI CCDs. One of the scientific tasks of this observatory is to provide fast response to satellite alerts in the hopes of identifying the optical counterparts of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) via the global effort of GRB Coordinated Network (GCN). In this conference proceedings, we describe the instruments and the science projects being carried out in the Observatory.
