A brief introduction to Morpheus and the RTC and where the SRTC fits in with respect to both. We
will discuss the methods with which we are facing the problem of its realization and the techniques
used up to now with particular attention to the analysis of the RTC toolkit provided by ESO. We
will also analyze the current state and where it’s headed in the future.
The Square Kilometre Array (SKA) is an international effort to build two radio interferometers in
South Africa and Australia forming one Observatory monitored and controlled from global head-
quarters (GHQ) based in the United Kingdom at Jodrell Bank. SKA is highly focused on adopting
CI/CD practices for its software development. CI/CD stands for Continuous Integration \& Deliv-
ery...
The use of the graphical user interface in a control system is the challenge of every control room
and is often dominated by standalone applications. Web technologies allow us to overcome some
limitations of standalone applications, but also involve some obstacles. With Taranta we are dis-
covering a trend that prefers web technologies.
Taranta suite is a web-based toolset jointly...
Since 2020, ASTRON has chosen the TANGO Controls framework for the development of the
Monitor and Control Station software for LOFAR 2.0, a major upgrade regarding both software
and infrastructure facilities. INAF is currently involved in the Station software development both
in the Station Control team and in the Telescope Manager team, recently merged as a single team.
The present...
The ASTRI (”Astrofisica con Specchi a Tecnologia Replicante Italiana”) and Mini-Array project is
a collaborative international effort led by the Italian National Institute for Astrophysics (INAF)
for developing an array of nine 4m-class dual-mirror imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes.
These telescopes will be sensitive to gamma-ray radiation at energies above 1 TeV. The...
The ASTRI Mini-Array, consisting of nine Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes of the 4-m
class, is an international project led by INAF. The first telescope of the array was installed at the
Teide Observatory on Tenerife, in the Canary Islands, the second half of 2022. All needed site
infrastructures, to host the telescope and the other eight that will arrive soon, have been built...
The ASTRI Mini-Array is an international collaboration led by INAF and devoted to imaging at-
mospheric Cherenkov light for very-high γ-ray astronomy. The project is deploying an array of 9
4-m class Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes at the Teide Observatory on Tenerife, in the
Canary Islands, most sensitive to γ-ray radiation above 1 TeV. The Supervisory Control and...
The ASTRI Mini-Array is an international collaboration led by INAF devoted to the construction
and operation of an array of nine 4m-class, dual-mirror Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov tele-
scopes located at the Teide Observatory (Canary Islands), sensitive to gamma-ray radiation at
energies above 1 TeV. Large volumes of monitoring and logging data result from the operation of
an array...
