The Mini-SiTian Array: Prospects of Searching for Tidal Disruption Events
Bei-chuan Wang, Jun-jie Jin, Yu Zhang +14
We assess the detectability of tidal disruption events (TDEs) using mock observations from the Mini-SiTian array. We select 100 host galaxy samples from a simulated galaxy catalog…
The Mini-SiTian Array: Evaluation Camera System
Yu Zhang, Lin Du, Yi Hu +7
The Mini-SiTian project, which is the pathfinder for the SiTian project, utilizes three 30 cm telescopes equipped with commercial CMOS cameras (ZWO ASI6200MM Pro) to simulate large…
The Mini-SiTian Array: Imaging Processing Pipeline
Kai Xiao, Zhirui Li, Yang Huang +19
As a pathfinder of the SiTian project, the Mini-SiTian (MST) array, employed three commercial CMOS cameras, represents a next-generation, cost-effective optical time-domain survey…
The Mini-SiTian Array: A Pathfinder for the SiTian Project
Yang Huang, Jifeng Liu, Hong Wu +5
The Mini-SiTian Array serves as a pathfinder for the SiTian project, which aims to survey the entire sky in bands every 30 minutes, reaching a limiting magnitude of 21. This…
Searching for kilonova with the SiTian prototype telescope
Zhirui Li, Hongrui Gu, Yongkang Sun +3
We simulate the optical searching of gravitational-wave electromagnetic counterpart of the binary neutron star (BNS) merger event (i.e., a kilonova) using the ground based {\it SiT…
The Mini-SiTian Array: first-two-year operation
Min He, Hong Wu, Liang Ge +70
The SiTian project, designed to utilize 60 telescopes distributed across multiple sites in China, is a next-generation time-domain survey initiative. As a pathfinder for the SiTian…
