SUMMARY:50BiN-A subnet of SONG
DESCRIPTION:50BiN-A subnet of SONG\nDr. Licai Deng\n\n China joined SONG in
  2009, by contributing a full SONG node. The site is located on the north-
 eastern part of Qinghai-Tibet plateau. In order to realize the full capabi
 lity of the SONG network, and more importantly for Chinese astronomical co
 mmunity to gain experience of running oversea observing facilities, we pro
 posed to our collaborators to add a wide-field photometry system on each S
 ONG node based on the same site plan. The sub-net is named 50cm Binocular 
 Network (50BiN), which provides time-series photometry of simultaneous two
 -bands (any two of UBVRI-ugriz), and ideally full duty cycle in networked 
 mode (if the full SONG would be built). The proto-type 50BiN node has been
  in operation on Chinese site (Delingha) for 3 years. An overview of the g
 rand science plan, configuration of the network and instruments, as well a
 s some science cases will be presented in this talk. A brief introduction 
 to the status of ground-based Chinese observing facilities will also be co
 vered.\n
