Mephisto is dedicated to performing simultaneous multi-band imaging of the same sky region at a particular moment with unprecedented colour accuracy. This is a first-of-its-kind effort to understand our evolving universe.
The Mephisto survey is exceptionally designed for different cadence schemes (days, hours, and minutes) to cover large sky areas each night.
Multi-band deep imaging with Mephisto will provide a unique opportunity for discovering ultra-fast to slow-evolving transients based on their colour characteristics. The Mephisto data will be equally useful to understand the Galactic and Extragalactic science.
The Mephisto scientific data will be publicly available to the science community without restrictions.
