Deep Lens Survey : Real-time Transient trans126 |
Time-series of a transient event. The left column represents
a sequence of images including transient trans126. The sequence
increases in time down the page. The highlighted row indicates the
object was discovered in this image. Each mosaic shows the template
image, the image with the transient, and a difference of the two. It
is possible we do not have a difference image (i.e. the template
observation), in which case we display a single observation. Each
component of the mosaic is 200 pixels (50''). For CTIO images, East is
up and North to the right. For KPNO, East is down and North is to the left.
The second column gives the UT date and time (and MJD) of
observation start for the images containing the transient, filter
used, and an estimate of the magnitude of the variability in this
filter, determined from the SExtractor MAG_BEST parameter and a
zero-point comparison using the USNO catalogue. While the magnitude
zero-points are accurate to only 0.1 in R and B, and 0.5 in V and z,
these magnitudes are relative to nearby stars and thus the variations
with time are more accurate. Transients also include the RA and DEC
(J2000) of each object in each observation, to 0.5'' accuracy.
