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…
TTC: Transformer-based TDE Classifier for the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST)
Ranfang Zheng, Zheyu Lin, Xu Kong +22
We propose the Transformer-based Tidal disruption events (TDE) Classifier (\texttt{TTC}), specifically designed to operate effectively with both real-time alert streams and archiva…
A pilot survey on globular clusters with the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST)
Zhen Wan, Lulu Fan, Xuzhi Li +19
We carry out an imaging survey of six globular clusters (GCs) with a limit magnitude to 22 mag at the 5 sigma level, down to the main sequence stars of the respective cluster, as o…
Minute-cadence observations on Galactic plane with Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Overview, methodology and early results
Jie Lin, Tinggui Wang, Minxuan Cai +26
As the time-domain survey telescope of the highest survey power in the northern hemisphere currently, Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) is scheduled to hourly/daily/semi-weekly sc…
A Heliocentric-orbiting Objects Processing System (HOPS) for the Wide Field Survey Telescope: Architecture, Processing Workflow, and Preliminary Results
Shao-Han Wang, Bing-Xue Fu, Jun-Qiang Lu +23
Wide-field surveys have markedly enhanced the discovery and study of solar system objects (SSOs). The 2.5-meter Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) represents the foremost facility…
Could the inter-band lag of active galactic nucleus vary randomly?
Zhen-Bo Su, Zhen-Yi Cai, Jun-Xian Wang +18
The inter-band lags among the optical broad-band continua of active galactic nuclei (AGNs) have been intensively explored over the past decade. However, the nature of the lags rema…
