The first network of robotic telescopes present across five continents is deployed

The Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucía (IAA) of the State Agency Spanish Research Council (CSIC) has finished the deployment of the BOOTES Network (Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System), the first network of robotic telescopes with stations on five continents. With installations in Spain (two stations), New Zealand, China, Mexico, South Africa and Chile, it constitutes the most complete network of its kind and a unique and fully automated resource for combining data from instruments around the world, monitoring the sky and supporting observations from missions and satellites. A paper sharing the details of the network and its achievements has been accepted for publication in Frontiers in Astronomy and Space Sciences.
