UCSB Cosmology Group

Overview:

• An array of optical telescopes automatically scans the sky in RA nightly

• The images are combined into one large transient sky map

• This map is compared to previous nights and over 100,000 light curves are generated

• Transients are identified from the light curves and stored in a web data base
