The Zadko Telescope is a new one-metre telescope funded by a generous donation from James Zadko to the University of Western Australia.
It is located in a purpose-built observatory, close to the UWA gravitational research facility and a science outreach centre, about 70 km north of Perth.
One of the core science themes for the Zadko Telescope is the “transient universe”. Closer to home, the Zadko Telescope is scanning the sky for potentially hazardous asteroids, and is helping to inspire the next generation of scientists.
The Zadko Telescope is managed by the UWA School of Physics. It is an important facility for astronomy research at UWA, and is a joint resource for the UWA gravitational wave research group and the International Center for Radio Astronomy Research.
- International collaborators: Observatoire de Haute-Provence, France.
