VizieR Online Data Catalog: Mission Accessible Near-Earth Objects Survey (Thirouin+, 2016)
Abstract
The data were obtained with the 4.3m Lowell Discovery Channel Telescope (DCT), the 4.1m Southern Astrophysical Research (SOAR) telescope, the 4m Nicholas U. Mayall Telescope, the 2.1m at Kitt Peak Observatory, the 1.8m Perkins telescope, the 1.5m Sierra Nevada Observatory (OSN), and the 1.3m SMARTS telescope between 2013 August and 2015 October.
The DCT is forty miles southeast of Flagstaff at the Happy Jack site (Arizona, USA). Images were obtained using the Large Monolithic Imager (LMI), which is a 6144*6160 CCD. The total field of view is 12.5*12.5 with a plate scale of 0.12''/pixel (unbinned). Images were obtained using the 3*3 or 2*2 binning modes. Observations were carried out in situ. The SOAR telescope is located on Cerro Pachon, Chile. Images were obtained using the Goodman High Throughput Spectrograph (Goodman-HTS) instrument in its imaging mode. The instrument consists of a 4096*4096 Fairchild CCD, with a 7.2' diameter field of view (circular field of view) and a plate scale of 0.15''/pixel. Images were obtained using the 2*2 binning mode. Observations were conducted remotely. The Mayall telescope is a 4m telescope located at the Kitt Peak National Observatory (Tucson, Arizona, USA). The National Optical Astronomy Observatory (NOAO) CCD Mosaic-1.1 is a wide field imager composed of an array of eight CCD chips. The field of view is 36'*36', and the plate scale is 0.26''/pixel. Observations were performed remotely. The 2.1m at Kitt Peak Observatory was operated with the STA3 2k*4k CCD, which has a plate scale of 0.305''/pixel and a field of view of 10.2'*6.6'. The instrument was binned 2*2 and the observations were conducted in situ. The Perkins 72'' telescope is located at the Anderson Mesa station at Lowell Observatory (Flagstaff, Arizona, USA). We used the Perkins ReImaging SysteM (PRISM) instrument, a 2*2k Fairchild CCD. The PRISM plate scale is 0.39''/pixel for a field of view of 13'*13'. Observations were performed in situ. The 1.5m telescope located at the OSN at Loma de Dilar in the National Park of Sierra Nevada (Granada, Spain) was operated in situ. Observations were carried out with a 2k*2k CCD, with a total field of view of 7.8'*7.8'. We used 2*2 binning mode, resulting in an effective plate scale of 0.46''/pixel. The 1.3m SMARTS telescope is located at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory (Coquimbo region, Chile). This telescope is equipped with a camera called ANDICAM (A Novel Dual Imaging CAMera). ANDICAM is a Fairchild 2048*2048 CCD. The pixel scale is 0.371''/pixel, and the field of view is 6'*6'. Observations were carried out in queue mode. (2 data files).- Publication:
