Paper on Evryscope science plans
This arXiv paper (submitted to PASP) gives a detailed look at our science plans for the system.
Evryscope hardware arrives
The Evryscope “mushroom” arrives at UNC Chapel Hill.
The Evryscope hardware is arriving at UNC Chapel Hill, and we are starting integration of the subsystems into the array. The next step will be full-up testing of the whole telescope.
