The Photometry Pipeline of the Watcher Robotic Telescope

الملخص EN

The Watcher robotic telescope was developed primarily to perform rapid optical follow-up observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs).

Secondary scientific goals include blazar monitoring and variable star studies.

An automated photometry pipeline to rapidly analyse data from Watcher has been implemented.

Details of the procedures to get image zero-point, source instrumental measurement, and limiting magnitude are presented.

Sources of uncertainty are assessed and the performance of the pipeline is tested by comparison with a number of catalogue sources.
