SUMMARY:Time Domain Astrophysics with Liverpool and New Robotic Telescopes
DESCRIPTION:Time Domain Astrophysics with Liverpool and New Robotic Telesco
 pes\nProf. Iain Steele\n\nSince first light in 2004 the 2.0m Liverpool Tel
 escope has been the world’s largest fully robotic telescope. It spec
 ialises in time domain astrophysics and has a dedicated instrument suite g
 iving imagining, spectroscopic and polarimetric capabilities. In this semi
 nar I will describe how the robotic operation of the telescope works and g
 ive examples of the science accomplished in areas such as gamma ray burst 
 follow-up and supernova classification. I will also present our plans to d
 evelop a new 4.0m robotic telescope in collaboration with colleagues at IA
 C which will deliver faster reaction and increased sensitivity.
