The Large Array Survey Telescope -- System Overview and Performances
E. O. Ofek, S. Ben-Ami, D. Polishook +38
The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field visible-light telescope array designed to explore the variable and transient sky with a high cadence. LAST will be composed…
The Large Array Survey Telescope -- Science Goals
S. Ben-Ami, E. O. Ofek, D. Polishook +20
The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is designed to survey the variable and transient sky at high temporal cadence. The array is comprised of 48 F/2.2 telescopes of 27.9cm apert…
The Weizmann Fast Astronomical Survey Telescope (W-FAST): System Overview
Guy Nir, Eran O. Ofek, Sagi Ben-Ami +8
A relatively unexplored phase space of transients and stellar variability is that of second and sub-second time-scales. We describe a new optical observatory operating in the Negev…
Transient processing and analysis using : Alert Management, Photometry and Evaluation of Lightcurves
J. Nordin, V. Brinnel, J. van Santen +18
Both multi-messenger astronomy and new high-throughput wide-field surveys require flexible tools for the selection and analysis of astrophysical transients. We here introduce the A…
The Palomar Transient Factory photometric catalog 1.0
E. O. Ofek, R. Laher, J. Surace +22
We construct a photometrically calibrated catalog of non-variable sources from the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) observations. The first version of this catalog presented here, t…
WISeREP - An Interactive Supernova Data Repository
Ofer Yaron, Avishay Gal-Yam
We have entered an era of massive data sets in astronomy. In particular, the number of supernova (SN) discoveries and classifications has substantially increased over the years fro…
