Record completeness
Claims
In the low ecliptic and galactic latitude field, we detected more than 500 transient candidates... identifying 504 catalogued asteroids, all with predicted V-magnitudes brighter than 24 mag, representing a total of 152 distinct asteroids... detecting 30 MPC-catalogued asteroids, and one newly discovered photometric transient, named AT 2024fxn.
The transient detection and candidate classification pipeline correctly separates real moving or varying objects from artifacts and noise, and the cross-match with the Minor Planet Checker database reliably confirms asteroid identities without significant contamination or missed matches.
ILMT observations detected 504 catalogued asteroids in a low-latitude field and 30 in a high-latitude field, plus one new photometric transient AT 2024fxn whose lightcurve is partially consistent with a supernova.
