Towards sub-milliarcsecond astrometric precision using seeing-limited imaging
Noam Segev, Eran O. Ofek, Yossi Shvartzvald +21
The Earth's atmospheric turbulence degrades the precision of ground-based astrometry. Here, we discuss these limitations and propose that, with proper treatment of systematics and…
The Large Array Survey Telescope -- Pipeline. I. Basic image reduction and visit coaddition
E. O. Ofek, Y. Shvartzvald, A. Sharon +18
The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field telescope designed to explore the variable and transient sky with a high cadence and to be a test-bed for cost-effective tel…
The Large Array Survey Telescope -- System Overview and Performances
E. O. Ofek, S. Ben-Ami, D. Polishook +38
The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field visible-light telescope array designed to explore the variable and transient sky with a high cadence. LAST will be composed…
The Large Array Survey Telescope -- Science Goals
S. Ben-Ami, E. O. Ofek, D. Polishook +20
The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is designed to survey the variable and transient sky at high temporal cadence. The array is comprised of 48 F/2.2 telescopes of 27.9cm apert…
The Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope (W-FAST): System Overview
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, Sagi Ben-Ami +8
A relatively unexplored phase space of transients and stellar variability is that of second and sub-second time-scales. We describe a new optical observatory operating in the Negev…
A high-rate foreground of sub-second flares from geosynchronous satellites
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, Sagi Ben-Ami +3
The Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope (W-FAST) is a 55cm optical survey telescope with a high cadence (25Hz) monitoring of the sky over a wide field of view (~7deg^2). Th…
