Siqi Wang, Qi Fan, Wenbo Gu +6
Cloud coverage is one of the crucial elements of site testing in astronomy. All-sky camera (ASC) images are beneficial for our research on cloud coverage. In this paper, we propose…
Optical turbulence in the atmospheric surface layer at the Pamir Plateau Muztagh-ata site
Wenbo Gu, Ali Esamdin, Chunhai Bai +7
In this paper, we conducted a detailed analysis of optical turbulence in the Atmospheric Surface Layer (ASL) at Muztagh-ata site during on-site testing. We utilized ultrasonic anem…
KIC 10855535: An elegant Delta Scuti pulsator with Amplitude and Phase Modulation
Lixian Shen, Ali Esamdin, Chenglong Lv +6
We investigated the pulsating behavior of KIC 10855535 using Kepler 4-year long cadence data. Two independent frequencies were detected: a pulsation frequency F0 = 17.733260(5)d-1…
