WFST Astrometric Calibration -- I. Modeling Global Geometric Distortion with Zernike Polynomials
Chao Yang, Min Fang, Xian Zhong Zheng +21
Accurate modeling of geometric distortion is essential for precise astrometric calibration in wide-field imaging surveys. We present a self-calibration method based on Zernike poly…

Minxuan Cai, Zelin Xu, Lulu Fan +13
The Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) is a dedicated photometric surveying facility built jointly by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) and the Purple Mounta…
Introduction to the Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST)
CSST Collaboration, Yan Gong, Haitao Miao +119
The Chinese Space Station Survey Telescope (CSST) is an upcoming Stage-IV sky survey telescope, distinguished by its large field of view (FoV), high image quality, and multi-band o…
A Glimpse of Satellite Galaxies in the Milky Way with the 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Bootes III and Draco
Chao Yang, Zhizheng Pan, Min Fang +34
We carry out deep imaging of the Milky Way satellite galaxies, Bootes III and Draco, with WFST as one pilot observing program to demonstrate the capability of WFST. Combining catal…
