The DESIRT DECam Time Domain Program
Abstract
We announce the DECam Survey of Intermediate Redshift Transients (DESIRT), a time domain program using the Dark Energy Camera (DECam). We repeatedly observe in g,r,z bands regions of the sky that the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument (DESI) is going to cover around the same time. We reach depths greater than mag 23 in g and r, and 22.6 or better in z band (5 sigma). This program was run in 2021 between March and June, while this semester observations are running between April and the end of July 2022. We will be reporting transient discoveries to the community.
