The new 4-m robotic telescope

We present a project to build a 4‐m‐diameter telescope (New Robotic Telescope [NRT]) with fully robotic operation. The telescope will be sited at the Observatory of Roque de los Muchachos in the island of La Palma (Spain). When it enters into operation in 5 years' time, it will be likely the largest robotic telescope in the world. This, in conjunction with the extremely fast response and the versatile and flexible instrumentation in the optical...
