cds-question@unistra.frsurveyssouth-galactic-polevisible-astronomysloan-photometryIn 2008 January the twenty-fourth Chinese expedition team successfully deployed the Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR) to Dome A, the highest point on the Antarctic plateau. CSTAR consists of four 14.5cm optical telescopes, each with a different filter (g,r,i, and open) and has a 4.5{deg}x4.5{deg} field of view (FOV). It operates robotically as part of the Plateau Observatory, PLATO, with each telescope taking an image every ~30s throughout the year whenever it is dark. During 2008, CSTAR 1 performed almost flawlessly, acquiring more than 0.3 million -band images for a total integration time of 1728hr during 158 days of observations. For each image taken under good sky conditions, more than 10,000 sources down to magnitude could be detected. We performed aperture photometry on all the sources in the field to create the catalog described herein. Since CSTAR has a fixed pointing centered on the south celestial pole (Dec=-90{deg}), all the sources within the FOV of CSTAR were monitored continuously for several months. The photometric catalog can be used for studying any variability in these sources, and for the discovery of transient sources such as supernovae, gamma-ray bursts, and minor planets.2010PASP..122..347Zhttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/PASP/122/347CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic serviceIsServedByConesearch servicerelated-tohttp://casdc.china-vo.org/data/cstar : CSTAR home pagehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/122/347https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/122/347http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/PASP/122/347https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/122/347https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/122/347http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/PASP/122/347GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapCone search capability for table J/PASP/122/347/cstar1 (Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR), Version 2008 (light curves will be accessible from http://casdc.china-vo.org/data/cstar))https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/122/347/cstar1?https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/122/347/cstar1?http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/conesearch/J/PASP/122/347/cstar1?GETtext/xml+votable180.050000true351.97775833-87.494458330.0055555555555555565/8192 9216-9218 10240-10242 11264 11266 6/32772-32774 32776-32778 32800 36876 36880 40972 40976 40992 45060-45062 45068 450882.381800341673347e-19 2.821731604724377e-19https://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/moc/J/PASP/122/347?format=asciiOpticaldefaultJ/PASP/122/347/cstar1Chinese Small Telescope ARray (CSTAR), Version 2008 (light curves will be accessible from http://casdc.china-vo.org/data/cstar)recnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
