| Note: | KMTNet Supernova Project (KSP) is an international astronomical research project. KSP mainly searches for supernova (SN) and does follow-up photometry from early of 2015 till 2018. KSP uses three identical 1.6-m optical telescopes (Korea Microlensing Telescope Network : KMTNet) installed in three continents of the southern hemisphere (Chile, South Africa, and Australia) at similar latitude of about -30 degrees, to secure 24-hour coverage of a celestial target. The three telescopes are installed and operated by the Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) and each telescope provides 2 degree by 2 degree field-of-view (FOV) with a mosaic CCD camera of 18K by 18K pixels (0.40 arcsec per pixel). Only the first references citing KSP sources are listed here. |
