The Dogu Anadolu Gözlemevi (DAG) Eastern Anatolia Observatory is an astronomical project fully funded by Turkish Ministry of Development and the Atatürk University of Astrophysics Research Telescope (ATASAM). DAG Observatory will be provided with a 4m-class optical and infrared telescope, equipped with secondary (0.76m) and tertiary mirrors which furnish the telescope with two Nasmyth foci. Since 2015, the project has seen the crucial contribution of EIE GROUP in the Design, Production and on-site Installation of the 4m class optical/near-infrared telescope (DAG Telescope) in contract with AMOS company. EIE GROUP is also the main contractor of the 18.6m-diameter Rotating Building (DAG Dome) at an altitude of 3170m asl on the Erzurum Plateau, Turkey. The telescope was completely pre-assembled and successfully tested at the Integration Area Facilities of the EIE GROUP. Subsequently disassembled and transported to the final installation site. Despite the serious effects of the pandemic, the EIE GROUP, in agreement with its final Customer, has adopted a telescope assembly strategy integrated with the final assembly phases of the Dome. This allowed EIE to mount the entire telescope, in a single summer season, in total safety (thanks to the special measures adopted). This paper focuses on the development of this on-site assembly EIE activities of DAG Telescope, which at present have exceeded the 95% of completion. The main critical issues and related engineering solutions will be analyzed, with emphasis on both managerial and erection approaches adopted by EIE GROUP for this integrated phase of the project completion.

The DAG (Dogu Anadolu Gözlemevi) observatory is the largest observatory in Turkey and is composed by the 4m-class infrared Telescope, the Rotating Enclosure, the dome fixed structure and the auxiliary building. It is mounted on the top of Karakaya Mountain at 3170m altitude, close to Erzurum, in Turkey. This presentation refers to the DAG Rotating Enclosure. The Rotating Enclosure is octagonal sized steel structure with eight trolleys acting on a rai of 18.6 meters diameter. The structure is and 14.5m high over a pillar 9.0m. It is equipped with an observing slit door composed by two L-Shaped elements. Six sliding ventilation doors, about 3.7x6.5m each, that can be opened independently and with different degrees of aperture allow for optimizing the internal airflow. Immediately Inside the observing slit doors, there is a windscreen consisting of 3 panels that, in case of wind, are raised in accordance with the telescope elevation to protect it. The panels have a specific degree of air permeability to still allow ventilation for the telescope. A 6.5tons overall bridge crane allows to move pieces in every zone of the rotating enclosure for the maintenance of the telescope optics. At the beginning of November 2023, EIE carried out all acceptance tests with the end customer and delivered the rotating enclosure to ATASAM. This paper provides the results of the final erection and reports the procedures and results of the Acceptance Tests performed by EIE for the DAG Rotating Enclosure activities. 4m class telescopes and related Domes represent nowadays a consolidated part of EIE core-business, a low costs standard product able to satisfy the most critical observational requirements of astronomers.
DAG telescope first light commissioning status
(SPIE, 2024) Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur; Güçsav, Bülent; Öztürk Cetni, Derya; Kuruçolak, Mehmet
DAG, the 4-meter VIS/NIR telescope and the observatory, reached foreseen first light status at last: the enclosure acceptance is completed; to finalize the opto-mechanical alignment and pointing/tracking, the telescope mirrors have been exposed to heavens in absence of instrumentation. On the optical train; the two instruments that make the telescope distinctive, namely KORAY (the optical derotator) and flexible concept TROIA (ExAO) systems are characterized at the laboratory, and are anxiously waiting to be installed at their blessed location of mission - the diffraction limited Nasmyth platform along with the PLACID stellar coronagraph and DIRAC (NIR camera). We felt that PLACID, which is not yet lead star got jealous; so with the funding provided by the RACE-GO (ERC Project), within just after 60 days of its first mission, it will undergo for a technical makeover to a K-Band instrument. We now have a dilemma, the vacant seeing Nasmyth platform - the landlord- is still waiting for a cutting-edge tenant. Thus, the paper not only presents the telescope and its instrumentation, but also reserves a dedicated section for possible co-operations/collaborations to take place on the seeing Nasmyth platform.

(IEEE, 2023-12-19) Eroğlu, Günet; Harb, Mhd Raja Abou
In this study, we explore the application of Google ML Kit, a machine learning development kit, for dyslexia detection in the Turkish language. We collected face-tracking data from two groups: 49 dyslexic children and 22 typically developing children. Using Google ML Kit and other machine learning algorithms based on eye-tracking data, we compared their performance in dyslexia detection. Our findings reveal that Google ML Kit achieved the highest accuracy among the tested methods. This study underscores the potential of machine learning-based dyslexia detection and its practicality in academic and clinical settings.
Optimum torque distribution during regenerative braking in a fully electrical vehicle via dynamic programming
(IEEE, 2023-10-28) Ergün, Ömer; Çaycı, N. Okan; Dinçmen, Erkin; İstif, İlyas
In electric vehicles, it is important to maximize their regenerative braking performances for obtaining longer driving distances. In this study, for an electric vehicle having motors on the front and rear axles, an optimum torque distribution algorithm based on dynamic programming method is proposed for maximizing the regenerative braking energy. Electric motor limits, efficiency maps, battery model and braking force constraints given in the European regulations are considered in the proposed algorithm. The dynamic programming algorithm code and simulation studies for different braking scenarios are carried out via MATLAB. Simulation studies show that via the proposed torque distribution algorithm, significant improvements in the regenerated braking energy are obtained with respect to the fixed-rate torque distribution algorithm.

(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, 2019-10-04) Yeşilyaprak, Cahit; Keskin, Onur
Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG) will be the Turkey’s largest (4m) and first infrared observatory is located in Erzurum city at the East part of Turkey with an altitude of 3170 m. We present the recent development of DAG until the end of September in 2019.
Wind disturbance cancellation for smaller alt-azimuth telescopes
(Universidad Nacional Autonoma de Mexico, 2019-10) Ünal, Ali Cem; Kararsız, Gökhan; Yılmaz, Cemal Tuğrul; Keskin, Onur; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit
This study focuses on eliminating unknown amplitude wind disturbance for 2-DOF alt-azimuth configuration small telescopes. An adaptive controller is designed to overcome wind disturbance as a set and forget system. The mathematical model is derived based on 2-DOF alt-azimuth configuration. The wind disturbance is modeled as a sum of sinusoidal with unknown amplitude, frequency and phase by using Wind-Gust model. The controller aims to cancel the effect of the disturbance on the altitude and azimuth angles of the telescope while positioning or staying static on a dedicated configuration. The asymptotic stability is proven with the Lyapunov approach. The numerical study is illustrated to success of the proposed controller.
TROIA Adaptive optics system for DAG telescope; assembly and laboratory performance prior to on-sky assessment
(SPIE, 2022-08-29) Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, Laurent; Bouxin, Audrey; Yeşilyaprak, Cahit
In this article, we describe the current status of the development of TROIA* a pyramid wavefront sensor based adaptive optics system designed for DAG, a new 4 m telescope located in Eastern Anatolia, Turkey. The wavefront uses a no-noise electron-multiplied CCD camera, and the deformable mirror has a large actuators density, allowing coronagraphic science in one hand, but also system optimization for low light level or bad seeing conditions thanks to the versatility of the P-WFS. We describe the optical design, the mounting and alignment procedure and our loop control concept. Closed loop results are described, showing that while there are still many issues to fix before the sky version, the system behaves as expected.

The 4m DAG telescope is under construction at East Anatolia Observatory in Turkey. DIRAC, the " DAG InfraRed Adaptive optics Camera", is one of the facility instruments. This paper describes the design of the camera to meet the performance specifications. Adaptive and auxiliary optics relay the telescope F/14 input 1:1 into DIRAC. The camera has an all refractive design for the wavelength range 0.9 - 2.4 micron. Lenses reimage the telescope focal plane 33 x 33 as (9 x 9 mm) on a 1k x 1k focal plane array. With magnification of 2x, the plate scale on the detector is 33 mas/pixel. There are 4 standard filters (Y, J, H, K) and 4 narrowband continuum filters. A 12 position filter wheel allows installation of 2 extra customer filters for specific needs; the filter wheel also deploys a pupil viewer lens. Optical tolerancing is carried out to deliver the required image quality at polychromatic Strehl ratio of 90% with focus compensator. This reveals some challenges in the precision assembly of optics for cryogenic environments. We require cells capable of maintaining precision alignment and keeping lenses stress free. The goal is achieved by a combination of flexures with special bonding epoxy matching closely the CTE of the lens cells and crystalline materials. The camera design is very compact with object to image distance <220 mm and lens diameters <25 mm. A standalone cryostat is LN2 cooled for vibration free operation with the bench mounted adaptive optics module (TROIA) and coronagraph (PLACID) at the Nasmyth focus of the DAG telescope.

AMOS with EIE as main subcontractor has recently completed the erection of the 4 m telescope located at the Turkish Eastern Anatolia Observatory (DAG) set up by the Ataturk University Astrophysics Research and Application Centre (ATASAM) of Erzurum. The telescope design is based on a Ritchey-Chrétien configuration with two folded Nasmyth focal planes and a focal length of 56m. The optical train is composed of three mirrors: the primary mirror (M1) with an optical aperture of 4m, a convex secondary mirror (M2), and a large flat folding mirror (M3). Diffraction-limited performances in optical and near infrared spectral bands will be achieved thanks to the combination of active and adaptive optics systems. The active optics system is controlling the shape of the primary mirror by means of 66 axial force actuators and position actively the secondary and tertiary mirrors by means of hexapods. The adaptive optics system will be implemented at one of the two Nasmyth ports. As main contractor, AMOS is in charge of the overall project management, the system engineering, the optical design and the active optics development. As main sub-contractor and partner of AMOS, EIE is in charge of the development of the mount. Following the factory acceptance in Europe, the telescope was dismounted and delivered in early 2021. The activities onsite were carried out according to the assembly, integration and verification plan (AIV plan). In the meantime, the fabrication of the 4 m primary mirror was completed, and the full set of mirrors was forwarded on-site before the end of the year 2021. In this paper is presented a brief description of the design and performances of the telescope followed by the project progress status at the time the optics are being integrated in the telescope for the first time. This includes the review of the mirrors as-built quality and the excepted performances of the telescope mount after alignment and tuning. The path forward final acceptance is explained with the presentation of the optical alignment method and the test carried-out on-sky.

Atmosferin astronomik gözlemlere olan olumsuz etkilerini alt etmek üzere geliştirilmiş ve DAG teleskobunda da kullanılacak olan Adaptif Optik (AO) sistemleri, türbülansın ayrıntılı bir şekilde karakterize edilmesine ihtiyaç duyar. SLODAR, atmosferik optik türbülansın dikey profilini, iki yakın yıldızın Shack-Hartmann dalgacephesi algılayıcısı (SH-WFC) ile yapılan dalgacephesi eğimi ölçümlerinin çapraz korelasyonundan elde eden bir yöntemdir. SLODAR sistemi, küçük çaplı (?50cm) bir teleskobun odak düzlemine yerleştirilen, iki SH-WFC barındıran SLODAR aygıtından oluşur. Paranal, La Palma, Mauna Kea ve SAAO gözlemevlerinde kurulan SLODAR teleskopları "yer katmanı (ground layer)" olarak adlandırılan ve yerleşkenin üzerindeki ilk kilometre içindeki türbülansı ölçmek amacıyla kullanılmışlardır. Bu sunumda DAG yerleşkesinde kurulmakta olan SLODAR sisteminden bahsedilecektir.

Adaptive optics for DAG telescope
(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Keskin, Onur; Jolissaint, Laurent
What we propose for DAG is therefore a natural guide star GLAO system, that can be turned into a highly efficient AO system. Thus the working principle and expected performance analysis will be shown. In this manner most DAG users will be able to make some use of the DAG AO. Later, it will be possible to upgrade the system by changing th algorithm and adding 1 or 2 additional DM, and even laser guide stars.
The effects of atmospheric turbulence on astrophysical observations
(Türk Astronomi Derneği, 2020-12-11) Keskin, Onur
Atmospheric turbulence is caused by random variations in temperature and pressure that spatially and temporally alter the air’s index of refraction. As electro-magnetic radiation from distant astronomical objects propagates through the atmosphere, the waves of light are distorted by these fluctuations in the refractive index and the information stored in the wavefront is corrupted. For astronomers, this loss of information manifests as degradation in the angular resolution that can be achieved with a ground-based telescope.
