The RoboNet-II project: Microlensing Anomaly Follow-up with the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network

The projected capabilities of LCOGT are driven by the requirements of time-domain astrophysics. In terms of the search for extra-solar planets, LCOGT is active in both transit searches and microlensing event follow-up. The capabilities of the network make it a natural partner for the fully automated approach adopted by the RoboNet-II Consortium. Using the eSTAR intelligent agents[1], we are able to schedule observations dynamically in response to targets selected by the ARTEMiS system [2]
