Abstract

The Indo-Belgian bilateral project titled “Belgo-Indian Network for Astronomy and Astrophysics (BINA)” is an excellent initiative to spark scientific collaboration between Belgian and Indian astronomers. The Belgian university, KU Leuven, owns and operates the semi-robotic Mercator telescope - a 1.2m telescope stationed at the Roque de los Muchachos observatory on the island of La Palma. This telescope is equipped with the High-Efficiency and high-Resolution Mercator Echelle Spectrograph (HERMES). This contribution aims to discuss a long-standing idea - what would BINA, and by extension the entire Indian astronomical community, gain with the addition of a similar 1-m class telescope with a high-resolution spectrograph in Devasthal.

Keywords : Techniques: spectroscopy, telescopes, instrumentation: spectrographs
