Abstract

The Taiwan Automated Telescope (TAT) Network is a global network of small robotic telescopes dedicated to photometric measurements of stellar
pulsations. Several telescopes will be deployed in appropriate longitudes to continuously observe selected objects. Two telescopes have been installed in the Teide Observatory, Tenerife, Spain and in Maidanak Observatory, Uzbekistan. The third telescope will be installed at Mauna Loa Observatory, Hawaii, USA. Each system uses a 9-cm Maksutov-type telescope with a 16-bit $1024 \times 1024$ CCD camera. The field of view is 0.62 degree square. Each telescope is fully automated. The system can either run fully automatically with preset paparamters or be remotely controlled from the headquarter, located at National Tsing Hua University, Taiwan. Here we report the preliminary result of a new variable star, HD 163032. The frequencies and amplitudes of pulsations together with its position on the HR diagram suggests that HD 163032 is a $\delta$ Scuti.
