LOT Users Meeting

This workshop is dedicated to current and future users of the Lulin Observatory 1-meter telescope and the upcoming 2-meter telescope in Mexico. It will explore the diverse scientific contributions of small telescopes and how they can complement larger facilities to advance astronomical research.

Workshop Goals

Participants will:

  • Learn about the unique capabilities and scientific potential of small telescopes.
  • Explore strategies to maximize the impact of observations from telescopes under 2 meters.
  • Network with fellow researchers to initiate collaborations using Lulin and future facilities.

Workshop Topics

  • The Science Potential of Small Telescopes: Past Achievements and Future Directions
  • Optimizing Observing Strategies for Small Telescopes
  • Small Telescope Contributions to Time-Domain Astronomy
  • Monitoring Variable Stars and Exoplanet Transits
  • Near-Earth Object (NEO) Detection and Follow-up Observations
  • Using Small Telescopes for Stellar and Galactic Studies
  • Integration of Small Telescopes into Multi-Wavelength Observing Campaigns
  • Building Synergies Between Small and Large Observatories
