Mini-MegaTORTORA-multichannel system for wide-field optical monitoring with high temporal resolution

Abstract

We report on a multi-objective and transforming 9-channel monitoring system, the Mini-MegaTORTORA (MMT-9). This system combines a wide field of view with a subsecond temporal resolution in the monitoring regime, and is able to recofingure itself, in fractions of a second, to a follow up mode which has better sensitivity and provides us with multi-color and polarimetric information on detected transients simultaneously.
