About article:
Here we present the summary of first years of operation and the first results of a novel 9-channel
wide-field optical monitoring system with sub-second temporal resolution,
Mini-MegaTORTORA (MMT-9), which is in operation now at Special Astrophysical
Observatory on Russian Caucasus. The system is able to observe the sky
simultaneously in either wide (900 square degrees) or narrow (100 square
degrees) fields of view, either in clear light or with any combination of
color (Johnson-Cousins B, V or R) and polarimetric filters installed, with
exposure times ranging from 0.1 s to hundreds of seconds.The real-time
system data analysis pipeline performs automatic detection of rapid
transient events, both near-Earth and extragalactic. The objects routinely
detected by MMT also include faint meteors and artificial satellites.
