Abstract

The 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope (ILMT) is the first optical survey telescope in India that performs zenithal observations of a 22′ wide strip of the sky. To determine the portion of the sky covered by the ILMT during the entire year, we represent the ILMT Field of View (FoV) in three different coordinate systems - galactic, ecliptic, and equatorial. We adopt a constant declination of +29°21′41.4′′ and varying right ascension (RA) ranges corresponding to the Local Sidereal Time (LST). The observations from June to September are hampered due to the monsoon season. The handiness of such representations will allow us to locate a transient event in the ILMT FoV. This will enable prompt follow-up observations with other facilities.

Keywords : ILMT Field of View, coordinate systems: galactic, coordinate systems: ecliptic, coordinate systems: equatorial
