The four meter DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory in Turkish) telescope is not only the largest telescope in Turkey but also the most promising telescope in the northern hemisphere with a large potential to offer scientific observations with its cutting edge technology. DAG is designed to be an AO telescope which will allow both infrared and visible observations with its two Nasmyth platforms dedicated to next generation focal plane instruments. In this paper, status updates from DAG telescope will be presented in terms of; (i) in house optical design of DAG, (ii) tender process of telescope, (iii) tender process of enclosure, and (iv) tender process of the observatory building. Also status updates from the focal plane instruments project and possible collaboration activities will be presented.

DAG: A New Observatory And A Prospective Observing Site For Other Potential Telescopes
YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; KESKİN, ONUR; Gucsav, B. Bulent (2016-07-01)
DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory is read as "Dogu Anadolu Gozlemevi" in Turkish) is the newest and largest observatory of Turkey, constructed at an altitude of 3170 m in Konakli/Erzurum province, with an optical and near-infrared telescope (4 m in diameter) and its robust observing site infrastructure. This national project consists of three main phases: DAG (Telescope, Enclosure, Buildings and Infrastructures), FPI (Focal Plane Instruments and Adaptive Optics) and MCP (Mirror Coating Plant). All these thr...
Status of the VERITAS Observatory
Holder, J.; Acciari, V. A.; Aliu, E.; Arlen, T.; Beilicke, M.; Benbow, W.; Bradbury, S. M.; Buckley, J. H.; Bugaev, V.; Butt, Y.; Byrum, K. L.; Cannon, A.; Celik, O.; Cesarini, A.; Ciupik, L.; Chow, Y. C. K.; Cogan, P.; Colin, P.; Cui, W.; et.al. (2009-01-01)
VERITAS, an Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescope (IACT) system for gammma-ray astronomy in the GeV-TeV range, has recently completed its first season of observations with a full array of four telescopes. A number of astrophysical gamma-ray sources have been detected, both galactic and extragalactic, including sources previously unknown at TeV energies. We describe the status of the array and some highlight results, and assess the technical performance, sensitivity and shower reconstruction capabilities.
EASTERN ANATOLIA OBSERVATORY (DAG): RECENT DEVELOPMENTS AND A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVING SITE FOR ROBOTIC TELESCOPES
YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; KESKİN, ONUR (2015-10-02)
This document (Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG) is the new observatory of Turkey with the optical and near-infrared largest telescope (4 m class) and its robust observing site infrastructure. This national project consists of three phases with DAG (Telescope, Enclosure, Buildings and Infrastructures), FPI (Focal Plane Instruments and Adaptive Optics) and MCP (Mirror Coating Plant) and is supported by the Ministry of Development of Turkey. The tenders of telescope and enclosure have been made and almost al...
The DAG Project, a 4m class telescope: the telescope main structure performance
Marchiori, G.; Busatta, A.; Ghedin, L.; Marcuzzi, E.; Manfrin, C.; Battistel, C.; Pirnay, O.; Flebus, Carlo; Yesiliaprak, C.; KESKİN, ONUR; Yerli, Sinan Kaan (2016-07-01)
Dogu Anatolu Gozlemevi (DAG-Eastern Anatolia Observatory) Project is a 4m class optical, near-infrared Telescope and suitable enclosure which will be located at an altitude of similar to 3.170m in Erzurum, Turkey. The DAG telescope is a project fully funded by Turkish Ministry of Development and the Ataturk University of Astrophysics Research Telescope - ATASAM. The Project is being developed by the Belgian company AMOS (project leader), which is also the optics supplier and EIE GROUP, the Telescope Main ...
A Microwave Kinetic Inductance Detector for the DAG Telescope
GÜVER, Tolga; Mazin, Benjamin A.; O'Brien, Kieran; Kay, Burak; Alis, Sinan; Yelkenci, F. Korhan; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Erol, Ayse; KESKİN, ONUR (2016-06-29)
We present the details of a proposed microwave kinetic inductance detector (MKID) for the DAG (Eastern Anatolia Observatory in Turkish) telescope, DAG-MKID. The observatory will have a modern 4m size telescope that is currently under construction. Current plan to obtain the first light with the telescope is late 2019. The proposed MKID based instrument will enable astronomers to simultaneously detect photons in the relatively wide wavelength range of 4000 - 13500 ˚A with a timing accuracy of µs and spectral...
