*** Transient detection summary *** Mean magnitude and position on the discovery images: 2024 07 29.8317 2460521.3317 11.20 19:43:07.51 +21:00:20.4 57.40843 -1.28022 galactic coordinates. Constellation: Vul Second-epoch detections are separated by 0.1" and 1.4 pix Both reference and new epochs have two images each. The images are shifted with respect to each other to aid in distinguishing stars from image artifacts. The transient position and magnitude listed above are the average of the values measured on the two second-epoch images. *** Directory structure *** * reference_platesolved_FITS/ - plate solved (WCS-calibrated) FITS images for the reference epoch, when the transient was weak or invisible. * new_platesolved_FITS/ - plate solved (WCS-calibrated) FITS images for the new epoch, when the transient was bright. * resampled_FITS/ - reference and new-epoch FITS images resampled to the standard 'North is Up, East is Left' orientation. * finder_charts_PNG/ - PNG finder charts generated from the reference and new-epoch images cantered on the transient. * animation_GIF/ - GIF animation of the reference and new-epoch images centered on the transient's location. * ds9.reg - DS9 region file marking the transient's position. * readme.txt - this file *** Examples *** 1. Blink the images in DS9 marking the transient position: ds9 reference_platesolved_FITS/* new_platesolved_FITS/* -region ds9.reg -frame lock wcs After starting the ds9 zoom out, locate and center the transient marked with the green circles defined in the region file, then compare the four images by clicking frame->blink 2.
