SUMMARY:A tool for restoring the starry sky at Teide Observatory
DESCRIPTION:A tool for restoring the starry sky at Teide Observatory\nProf.
  Martin Aube\n\n\n\n\nIncreasing light pollution is a threat to the resear
 ch capacity of astronomical observatories. The case of the Teide observato
 ry is not an exception, despite the OPTC's sustained protection efforts. W
 e now have powerful modeling tools to theoretically test the impact of a c
 hange of lighting devices on the quality of the starry sky. During this pr
 oject, we will use the Illumina numerical model to create the first decisi
 on-making tool aimed at maximizing the restoration of research capacity of
  an observatory. This innovative tool will actually be used for the restor
 ation of the night sky at the Teide observatory. It will take the form of 
 an excel page, that make it possible to independently modify the conversio
 n plans for each municipality of the island of Tenerife and to determine t
 he related reduction of the sky brightness. It will therefore be possible 
 to target the most effective actions to restore the quality of the night s
 ky at the observatory. The tool will use many pre-executions of the Illumi
 na model. In situ measurements will be also carried out to characterize th
 e current lighting infrastructure, a crutial input to the model.\n\n\n
