Minute-cadence Observations of the Galactic Plane with the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST): Overview, Methodology, and Early Results

As the time-domain survey telescope of the highest survey power in the Northern Hemisphere currently, the Wide Field Survey Telescope (WFST) is scheduled to hourly/daily/semiweekly scan the Northern sky up to ∼23 mag in four optical ( ugri ) bands. Unlike the observation cadences in forthcoming regu...
