Towards optimal photometric calibration of digital astronomical plates with deep learning
Mingyang Ma, Haibo Yuan, Lin Yang +8
Photometric calibration of digitized photographic plates is commonly modeled with separable magnitude-, color-, and position-dependent terms, but this separability can break down w…
Antarctic TianMu Staring Observation Project II: Data reduction and preliminary results
Hubiao Niu, Jing Zhong, Yu Zhang +6
The Antarctic TianMu Staring Observation Program is a time-domain optical sky survey project carried out in Antarctica, capable of large sky coverage, high-cadence sampling, and lo…
Antarctic TianMu Staring Observation Project I: Overview and Implementation of the Prototype Telescope
Dan Zhou, Jing Zhong, Jianchun Shi +31
Wide-field rapid sky surveys serve as critical observational methods for time-domain astronomical research. The Antarctic region, with several months of continuous dark nights annu…
Digitization of Astronomical Photographic Plate of China: Photometric Calibration of Single-exposure Plates and Release of Photometric Catalogs
Ma Mingyang, Yuan Haibo, Xiao Kai +15
The Chinese Plate-Digitizing Project has digitized a total number of about 30,000 astronomical plates from 11 telescopes of five observatories (SHAO, NAOC, PMO, YNAO, and QDO) in C…
