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…
The Mini-SiTian Array: White Paper
Henggeng Han, Yang Huang, Beichuan Wang +11
This paper outlines the scientific goals and observational strategies of the Mini-SiTian array. Mounted at Xinglong Observatory, the Mini-SiTian array consists of three 30 cm teles…
The Mini-SiTian Array: the mini-SiTian Realtime Image Processing pipeline (STRIP)
Hongrui Gu, Yang Huang, Yongkang Sun +10
This paper provides a comprehensive introduction to the Mini-SiTian Real-Time Image Processing pipeline (STRIP) and evaluates its operational performance. The STRIP pipeline is spe…
Calibration of Complementary Metal-oxide-semiconductor Sensor-based Photometry to a Few-millimagnitude Precision: The Case of the Mini-SiTian Array
Kai Xiao, Yang Huang, Haibo Yuan +14
We present a pioneering achievement in the high-precision photometric calibration of CMOS-based photometry, by application of the Gaia BP/RP (XP) spectra-based synthetic photometry…
"Frog-eyes" in Astronomy: Monitoring Binary Radial Velocity Variations Through A Pair of Narrow-Band Filters
Chuanjie Zheng, Yang Huang, Jifeng Liu +13
Spectroscopic observations are a crucial step in driving major discoveries in the era of time-domain surveys. However, the pace of current spectroscopic surveys is increasingly una…
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…
