Characterisation of the ILMT 4K x 4K TDI CCD imager
Gokul singh Mehra, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +10
In this work, we determine the gain and read-out noise of the 4Kx4K CCD imager used with the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT). Due to the zenith-pointing characteri…
Optical observations of supernova candidates with the ILMT
Monalisa Dubey, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +10
The International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is a 4-m optical ({\em gri} spectral bands) zenithal survey telescope with a field of view of 22.322.3 arcmin, suitable for…
Unveiling photometric transients with the ILMT and their follow-up using DOT
Priyanshi Kumari, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +10
The two 4-m class telescopes at the Devasthal site in India are complementary: the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is dedicated to the discovery of new transient p…
From Sky to Science: Time Domain Astronomy with the ILMT Survey
Kuntal Misra, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +10
The PyLMT transient detection pipeline has been operational since November 2023 and has detected 10,000 transients and variable objects in ILMT images in near real time. The…
Modelling the Point Spread Function of ILMT images
Naveen Dukiya, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
We have devised an approach to model the empirical Point Spread Function (PSF) of the images taken with the 4-meter International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT). The characteristic…
Demonstrating the Time-Domain Capabilities of the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope: An Early Census of Transient and Variable Detections
Kumar Pranshu, Kuntal Misra, Bhavya Ailawadhi +11
The PyLMT transient detection pipeline has been operational since November 2023, detecting transient and variable objects in the ILMT images in almost real time. Using the image su…
Detection and identification of asteroids with the 4-m ILMT
Sara Filali, Bhavya Ailawadhi, Talat Akhunov +11
The International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) covers a 22.3' wide strip of sky in declination (δ), centred at δ = +29° 21' 41.4'' and right ascension (α) in the range 0 h <= α <…
Astrometric Calibration of the 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope Observations
Vibhore Negi, Naveen Dukiya, Gokul Singh Mehra +12
The 4-m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is a dedicated time domain survey telescope that continuously scans the zenithal sky over the Indian Himalayas in the g', r' an…
