SUMMARY:SONG: an observational new facility at Observatorio del Teide for s
 tellar observations
DESCRIPTION:SONG: an observational new facility at Observatorio del Teide f
 or stellar observations\nDr. Orlagh Creevey\n\nThe SONG SONG (Stellar Obse
 rvations Network Group) project is a worldwide initiative to design and bu
 ild a global network of 1m telescopes (6 to 8 nodes) to allow observations
  with a high duty cycle (> 80%) and near continuous coverage over long tim
 e spans (weeks to months). The SONG prototype (first node of the network) 
 is currently under construction and it is expected to be placed at the Obs
 ervatorio del Teide in mid 2011 on the basis of a bilateral collaborative 
 agreement. The main scientific goals for SONG are to study stars using ast
 eroseismology, and to search for, and characterize, extra-solar planets us
 ing microlensing and radial-velocity observations. In order to achieve thi
 s, the prototype node will be equipped with a high-resolution spectrograph
  and a dual-colour lucky-imaging camera. Here we describe the main aspects
  of the project and the various scientific opportunities that will be offe
 red to the Spanish community.
