GraL spectroscopic identification of multiply imaged quasars
Priyanka Jalan, Vibhore Negi, Jean Surdej +24
Gravitational lensing is proven to be one of the most efficient tools for studying the Universe. The spectral confirmation of such sources requires extensive calibration. This pape…
Gaia GraL: Gaia DR2 Gravitational Lens Systems. VIII. A radio census of lensed systems
Dougal Dobie, Dominique Sluse, Adam Deller +26
We present radio observations of 24 confirmed and candidate strongly lensed quasars identified by the Gaia Gravitational Lenses (GraL) working group. We detect radio emission from…
The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope: a brief history and some preliminary scientific results
Jean Surdej, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +12
The present article is based upon an invited talk delivered at the occasion of the inauguration of the 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) which took place in Devasthal…
SunPhot: Preparations for an upcoming quasar variability survey with the International Liquid Mirror Telescope
Ethen Sun, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
Recent research suggests a correlation between the variability and intrinsic brightness of quasars. If calibrated, this could lead to the use of quasars on the cosmic distance ladd…
Surface Brightness Properties of LSB Galaxies with the International Liquid Mirror Telescope
Jiuyang Fu, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
Low surface brightness (LSB) galaxies make up a significant fraction of the luminosity density of the local universe. Their low surface brightness suggests a different formation an…
Survey of Variables with the ILMT
Baldeep Grewal, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
Nestled in the mountains of Northern India, is a 4-metre rotating dish of liquid mercury. Over a 10-year period, the International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) will survey 117 sq…
Observation of mulitply imaged quasars with the 4-m ILMT
Talat Akhunov, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Ermanno Borra +12
Gravitationally lensed quasars (GLQs) are known to potentially provide an independent way of determining the value of the Hubble-Lemaître parameter , to probe the dark matte…
Follow-up strategy of ILMT discovered supernovae
Brajesh Kumar, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) facility continuously scans the same sky strip (22 wide) on each night with a fixed pointing towards the zenith d…
Astrometric and photometric calibrators for the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope
Naveen Dukiya, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
The International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is a 4-meter class survey telescope. It achieved its first light on 29 April 2022 and is now undergoing the commissionin…
A year-long representation of the ILMT observations in different coordinate systems
Monalisa Dubey, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is the first optical survey telescope in India that performs zenithal observations of a 22 wide strip of the sky. To determin…
The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope project
Jean Surdej, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +12
The International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) project is a scientific collaboration in observational astrophysics between the Li{è}ge Institute of Astrophysics and Geophysics (L…
Serendipitous Detection of Orbital Debris by the International Liquid Mirror Telescope: First Results
Paul Hickson, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
Orbital debris presents a growing risk to space operations, and is becoming a significant source of contamination of astronomical images. Much of the debris population is uncatalog…
Detection and Identification of Asteroids with the 4-m ILMT
Anna Pospieszalska-Surdej, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +12
A very unique strength of the Devasthal Observatory is its capability of detecting optical transients with the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) and to rapidly follo…
Accessibility of the ILMT survey data
Kuntal Misra, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) continuously scans a 22 wide strip of the zenithal sky and records the images in three broadband filters (g', r' and i') usin…
Automated transient detection in the context of the 4m ILMT
