LoVoCCS. III. Third Generation Pipeline & The Hercules Supercluster
Anthony M. Englert, Shenming Fu, Ian Dell'Antonio +29
The Local Volume Complete Cluster Survey (LoVoCCS) is a volume-complete survey of over one-hundred nearby (), X-ray luminous ($L_{500} > 10^{44} \text{ erg s}^{-1}…
Search for L4 Earth Trojan asteroids with the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope
Junqiang Lu, Lulu Fan, Shaohan Wang +16
Earth Trojan asteroids (ETAs) are a mysterious population, and dynamically stable ETAs, if primordial, could be "living fossils" of the early solar system. To date, there are only…
WFST Astrometric Calibration -- I. Modeling Global Geometric Distortion with Zernike Polynomials
Chao Yang, Min Fang, Xian Zhong Zheng +21
Accurate modeling of geometric distortion is essential for precise astrometric calibration in wide-field imaging surveys. We present a self-calibration method based on Zernike poly…
