Robotic telescopes

In the new era of multimessenger astronomy, autonomous observatories and telescope networks play a key role to follow-up fast astronomical events that would help to better understand the universe. On the other hand, space security is getting more and more attention since space debris and asteroids are becoming a threat for future space missions and Earth. In this sense, The Joint Research Unit (JRU) between the University of Málaga and the Institute of Astrophysics of Andalucia (CSIC) was created to accomplish the gap between astronomy, astrophysics and engineering. In particular, the JRU tries to join scientific contributions in the field of engineering and astrophysics, which would generate new discoveries. Most of the joint research is carried out using the BOOTES telescope network.
