Mini-SONG Site testing at Delingha Licai Deng SONG mini-SONG Primary Science Goals Photometry of a sample (defined later) of open clusters basic physical parameters measured in a uniform way; Time domain study of variable objects in selected clusters: long time based line, high cadence and high duty cycle, high precision photometric observations; A complete survey (defined later) of stellar variabilities along the main sequence (? Scu, ? Cep ? Dor etc……) in selected open clusters; A complete survey (defined later) of small and large amplitude red variables along the RGBs of selected open clusters; A complete survey (defined later) of eclipsing binaries in selected clusters; Looking for transit of exoplanet systems; Looking for flare type variabilities in selected clusters; Stellar rotation and spots activities; …… Time domain study of selected field areas; Secondary science goals:  Immediate follow-up of the optical after glows of GRBs; Follow-up of SNs found in nearby galaxies; Other generic ToO; Fundamental requirements on hardware To realize long time base line and cadence, a mini-SONG telescope should be attached to each SONG node, at least in SONG-North; To realize our science goals, (simultaneous) 2 color (SDSS g, r) photometry system is needed; To cover large enough cluster and vicinity area of Galactic open clusters, especially the well studied old populations of clusters, such as M67, NGC188, NGC7789 etc., a minimum of 40’x40’ FOV is needed; To reach the lower limit of ?-Scuti strip of typical open clusters, and to have them observed at 100? level S/N, and 1mm accuracy at a ~300s exposure, a minimum aperture of 50cm is needed (to be determined); To get an ideal sampling, 4kx4k CCD(s) is needed; Basics of the survey: The sample of clusters are defined in such a way that the size (dynamical radius) ranges in 10’-30’ (to be determined), and the lower limit of ?-Scuti strip locates at 19m (if exist, for old clusters) or 5m below the MSTO are covered;
