StarWhisper Telescope: An AI framework for automating end-to-end astronomical observations
Cunshi Wang, Yu Zhang, Yuyang Li +25
The exponential growth of large-scale telescope arrays has boosted time-domain astronomy development but introduced operational bottlenecks, including labor-intensive observation p…
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…
The Mini-SiTian Array: A Pathfinder for the SiTian Project
Yang Huang, Jifeng Liu, Hong Wu +5
The Mini-SiTian Array serves as a pathfinder for the SiTian project, which aims to survey the entire sky in bands every 30 minutes, reaching a limiting magnitude of 21. This…
The Mini-SiTian Array: first-two-year operation
Min He, Hong Wu, Liang Ge +70
The SiTian project, designed to utilize 60 telescopes distributed across multiple sites in China, is a next-generation time-domain survey initiative. As a pathfinder for the SiTian…
Calibration of Complementary Metal-oxide-semiconductor Sensor-based Photometry to a Few-millimagnitude Precision: The Case of the Mini-SiTian Array
Kai Xiao, Yang Huang, Haibo Yuan +14
We present a pioneering achievement in the high-precision photometric calibration of CMOS-based photometry, by application of the Gaia BP/RP (XP) spectra-based synthetic photometry…
"Frog-eyes" in Astronomy: Monitoring Binary Radial Velocity Variations Through A Pair of Narrow-Band Filters
Chuanjie Zheng, Yang Huang, Jifeng Liu +13
Spectroscopic observations are a crucial step in driving major discoveries in the era of time-domain surveys. However, the pace of current spectroscopic surveys is increasingly una…
