Scheduling in Targeted Transient Surveys and a New Telescope for CHASE

Figure 3

Evolution of the probability of detecting new supernova with the number of generations. In this example, every generation consists of a population of 1,000 observational plans, where each observational plan contains hundreds of 60 sec exposures to different targets. For the simulation, we have used the gold sample of galaxies of the CHASE survey [8], where the distances were computed from recession velocities. Event rates were created randomly at the beginning of the simulation to reproduce the typical rates expected for supernova explosions. The cadences were randomly generated to reproduce the typical values expected in the CHASE survey.
