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: 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…
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…
