NOT

NOT on Suomen, Tanskan, Norjan, Islannin ja Tukholman yliopiston yhdessä operoima teleskooppi Kanariansaarten La Palmalla Espanjassa. Teleskooppi rakennuksineen siirtyi 2020 Turun yliopiston omistukseen kun taas Aarhusin yliopisto on vastuussa teleskoopin henkilöstöstä. NOT on korvaamattomassa roolissa Suomessa tehta¨va¨ssa¨ tähtitieteen ja astrofysiikan tutkimuksessa ja erityisesti monissa käynnissä olevissa Turun yliopiston tutkijoiden johtamissa pitkän aikavälin projekteissa.

The Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) is a medium-sized telescope operated jointly by Finland, Denmark, Norway, Iceland, and Stockholm University. Its ownership has been reorganized such that the human resources are handled by the Aarhus University in Denmark, and the telescope and related buildings are owned by University of Turku. The location of the NOT on La Palma, Canary Islands is one of the best in the world for astronomical observations. ??? has advanced instruments allowing imaging and spectroscopy covering both optical (320-1000 nm) and near-infrared (1-2.4 µm) wavelengths and polarimetry. The NOT Transient Explorer (NTE) will be a new high efficiency wide-band spectrograph with much improved capabilities when entering operation in 2023. NOT plays a major role in the Finnish astronomy providing an important access to the targets in the northern sky. NOT is also an efficient educational tool to introduce young people to modern observational astronomy.
