Abstract
The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a cost-effective survey telescope designed to survey the visible light sky at high cadence.
The system is composed of 72 (currently, 40 operational) 28-cm telescopes with a wide field of view.
The system is capable of reaching magnitude 21, in 400s simultaneously over 530 deg^2.
I will talk about the system concept and its science goals.
