DAG (Eastern Anatolian Observatory in Turkish), will be built in one of the well-known mountain ridges of Erzurum, Turkey, at latitude of 39 degrees 46'50, longitude of 41 degrees 13'35 and an altitude of 3170 meters. As well as erecting the largest telescope of Turkey, the DAG project aims to establish an observatory complex both small in size and functional enough to give service to all astronomy community. In this paper, the challenge is explained in details: geological and geographical limitations, environmental and meteorological constraints, engineering and structural considerations, energy efficiency and sustainability.

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...
DAG telescope site studies and infrastructure for possible international co-operations Yerli, Sinan Kaan; KESKİN, ONUR; Alis, Sinan (2016-07-01) The selected site for the 4 m DAG (Eastern Anatolian Observatory in Turkish) telescope is at "Karakaya Ridge", at 3170 m altitude (3150 m after summit management). The telescope's optical design is performed by the DAG technical team to allow infrared observation at high angular resolution, with its adaptive optics system to be built in Turkey. In this paper; a brief introduction about DAG telescope design; planned instrumentation; the meteorological data collected from 2008, clear night counts, short-term ...
Slope stability assessment of a re-activated landslide on the Artvin-Savsat junction of a provincial road in Meydancik, Turkey Topsakal, Ebru; Topal, Tamer (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2015-03-01) The purpose of this study is to determine the most suitable remediation techniques for an active landslide area in Turkey, using a geological engineering assessment of a re-activated landslide that occurred during the construction of the Artvin-Savsat Junction on the Meydancik Provincial Road, at Km: 12 + 200. For this, the geotechnical parameters of the mobilized geological material-which is colluvium along the sliding surface-were determined by back analyses of the landslide at three geological sections. ...
Thermal Modeling and Verification of PV Module Temperature and Energy Yield Using Outdoor Measurements for Ankara, Turkey Tuncel, Bilge; Akınoğlu, Bülent Gültekin; ÖZDEN, TALAT; Balog, Robert S (2018-11-14) Ankara is in the Central Anatolia region of Turkey where the climate is dry-continental with an annual solar insolation of around 1750 kWh/m(2). In the transition to renewable energy, detailed analyses are required to ensure effective and economic utilization of the available solar resource. An essential part of these analyses is to calculate expected energy yield. For photovoltaic (PV) systems, this includes the effect of temperature on the PV efficiency, which determines the power yield of the PV modules....
Project Management of DAG: Eastern Anatolia Observatory KESKİN, ONUR; YEŞİLYAPRAK, Cahit; Yerli, Sinan Kaan; Zago, Lorenzo; Guver, Tolga; Alis, Sinan (2016-06-28) 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 presen...
