利物浦望远镜是一台全机器人 2 米望远镜，位于加那利拉帕尔马岛的罗克德洛斯穆查霍斯天文台。该望远镜于 2004 年开始进行常规科学操作，目前有七台同时安装的仪器支持广泛的科学计划，重点是瞬态跟踪和其他非常适合机器人观测特征的时域主题。后续设施的建设工作已经开始，暂定名称为“利物浦望远镜 2”。我们正在进入时域天文学的新时代，在整个电磁频谱上都有新的发现设施，而 LSST 等下一代光学勘测设施将特别彻底改变瞬态科学领域。全机器人利物浦望远镜 2 将具有 4 米孔径和改进的响应时间，旨在应对这个新时代的挑战。在概念设计阶段之后，我们即将开始详细设计，这将导致 2018 年开始施工，并于 2022 年首次亮灯。在本文中，我们提供了该设施的概述和最新进展情况。
The Liverpool Telescope is a fully robotic 2-metre telescope located at the Observatorio del Roque de los Muchachos on the Canary Island of La Palma. The telescope began routine science operations in 2004, and currently seven simultaneously mounted instruments support a broad science programme, with a focus on transient followup and other time domain topics well suited to the characteristics of robotic observing. Work has begun on a successor facility with the working title ‘Liverpool Telescope 2’. We are entering a new era of time domain astronomy with new discovery facilities across the electromagnetic spectrum, and the next generation of optical survey facilities such as LSST are set to revolutionise the field of transient science in particular. The fully robotic Liverpool Telescope 2 will have a 4-metre aperture and an improved response time, and will be designed to meet the challenges of this new era. Following a conceptual design phase, we are about to begin the detailed design which will lead towards the start of construction in 2018, for first light ∼2022. In this paper we provide an overview of the facility and an update on progress.
