Homogenization of the Stetson Photometry with the BEST Database
Zhirui Li, Bowen Huang, Kai Xiao +5
As one of the most widely recognized high-quality standard stars, the Stetson standards have been extensively used as a photometric reference for calibrating other surveys. In this…
A Large and Precise All-Sky Photometric Standard Star Dataset Across More Than 200 Passbands
Kai Xiao, Yang Huang, Haibo Yuan +12
High-precision photometric standard stars play a key role in enabling accurate photometric calibration and advancing various fields of astronomy. However, due to limitations in cal…
Systematic Search for Electromagnetic Counterparts to the Binary Neutron Star Merger Candidate GW231109_235456
Zhirui Li, Zhiwei Chen, Yang Huang +2
In this letter, we present a systematic search for the electromagnetic counterparts of binary neutron star (BNS) merger candidate GW231109_235456 by examining all transients report…
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…
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…

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…
Photometric Stellar Parameters for 195,478 Kepler Input Catalog (KIC) Stars
Bowen Zhang, Yang Huang, Timothy C. Beers +9
The stellar atmospheric parameters and physical properties of stars in the Kepler Input Catalog (KIC) are of great significance for the study of exoplanets, stellar activity, and a…
Filter Design for Estimation of Stellar Metallicity: Insights from Experiments with Gaia XP Spectra
Kai Xiao, Bowen Huang, Yang Huang +11
We search for an optimal filter design for the estimation of stellar metallicity, based on synthetic photometry from Gaia XP spectra convolved with a series of filter-transmission…
