论文摘要
韦恩州立大学的Dan Zowada纪念天文台是一个完全机器人的0.50万望远镜和成像系统，位于新墨西哥州的黑暗天空下。天文台特别适合时间域天文学：可变物体的观察，例如潮汐破坏事件，超新星和活跃的银河核。我们已经开发了一个软件套件，用于降低图像，对齐和堆叠，并计算望远镜使用的Sloan过滤器中的绝对光度法。我们的管道还执行图像减法，以实现嵌入在明亮背景（例如星系）中的物体的光度法。 16 x 90秒暴露的Zowada天文台的5个sigma检测极限为19.0幅度为19.0幅度，在R波段中为18.1幅度，I频段为17.9级，在I波段中为17.9级，Z频段为16.6级。对于3 sigma检测极限，可以以更大的不确定性进行19.9，19.1进行测量。 Griz带中的18.9和17.5级。
Wayne State University's Dan Zowada Memorial Observatory is a fully robotic 0.5m telescope and imaging system located under the dark skies of New Mexico. The observatory is particularly suited to time domain astronomy: the observation of variable objects, such as tidal disruption events, supernovae, and active galactic nuclei. We have developed a software suite for image reduction, alignment and stacking, and calculation of absolute photometry in the Sloan filters used at the telescope. Our pipeline also performs image subtraction to enable photometry of objects embedded in bright backgrounds such as galaxies. The 5 sigma detection limit of the Zowada Observatory for integration of 16 x 90 second exposures is 19.0 magnitude in g-band, 18.1 magnitude in r-band, 17.9 magnitude in i-band, and 16.6 magnitude in z-band. For a 3 sigma detection limit, measurements may be performed with greater uncertainties as deep as 19.9, 19.1. 18.9 and 17.5 magnitude in griz bands, respectively.
