• From March 2015 the operation of the JCMT is taken over by the East Asian Observatory.
• Having lost the UKST in 1988  the ROE now also lost the UKIRT and the JCMT, operated by the independent Joint Astronomy Centre.
• The JCMT started operations in 1987, and was funded until February 2015 by a partnership between the United Kingdom and Canada, and the Netherlands.
• In 1987 the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope ( JCMT )  also on Mauna Kea  was handed over to the ROE after the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory had completed its construction.
• The JCMT is a 15-metre diameter, millimetre-and sub-millimetre-wavelength telescope, which was run by a partnership of the UK, the Netherlands and Canada until 2014.
• Researchers at the department have access to a number of high quality telescopes, including Gemini North and South, 8.1 m, Magellan 6.5 m, the CFHT, 3.6 m, Dupont, 2.5 m and the JCMT, sub-mm as well as other optical, radio and satellite facilities and the use of stratospheric balloons for galactic and cosmological research.
