Chris Smith, and Michael Warner. 2015. “Real-Time Earthquake Warning for Astronomical Observatories.” Experimental Astronomy 39 (2) (April 15): 387–404.0922-6435http://nrs.harvard.edu/urn-3:HUL.InstRepos:17190521Early earthquake warning is a rapidly developing capability that has significant ramifications for many fields, including astronomical observatories. In this work, we describe the susceptibility of astronomical facilities to seismic events, including large telescopes as well as second-generation ground-based gravitational-wave interferometers. We describe the potential warning times for observatories from current seismic networks and propose locations for future seismometers to maximize warning times.en-USAstronomical observatoriesEarthquakesGravitational-wave detectorsJournal Article2015-07-0910.1007/s10686-015-9454-1
