Exoplanets in the Antarctic sky. II. 116 transiting exoplanet candidates found by AST3-II (CHESPA) within the southern CVZ of TESS
We report first results from the CHinese Exoplanet Searching Program from Antarctica (CHESPA) - a wide-field high-resolution photometric survey for transiting exoplanets carried out using telescopes of the AST3 (Antarctic Survey Telescopes times 3) project. There are now three telescopes (AST3-I, AS...

We report first results from the CHinese Exoplanet Searching Program from Antarctica (CHESPA) - a wide-field high-resolution photometric survey for transiting exoplanets carried out using telescopes of the AST3 (Antarctic Survey Telescopes times 3) project. There are now three telescopes (AST3-I, AST3-II, and CSTAR-II) operating at Dome A - the highest point on the Antarctic Plateau - in a fully automatic and remote mode to exploit the superb observing conditions of the site, and its long and uninterrupted polar nights. The search for transiting exoplanets is one of the key projects for AST3. During the austral winters of 2016 and 2017 we used the AST3-II telescope to survey a set of target fields near the southern ecliptic pole, falling within the continuous viewing zone of the TESS mission.
