      abstract     = {The Large Array Survey Telescope (LAST) is a wide-field
                      visible-light telescope array designed to explore the
                      variable and transient sky with a high cadence. LAST will be
                      composed of 48, 28 cm f/2.2 telescopes (32 already
                      installed) equipped with full-frame backside-illuminated
                      cooled CMOS detectors. Each telescope provides a field of
                      view (FoV) of 7.4 deg$^2$ with 1.25 pix$^{−1}$, while the
                      system FoV is 355 deg$^2$ in 2.9 Gpix. The total collecting
                      area of LAST, with 48 telescopes, is equivalent to a 1.9 m
                      telescope. The cost-effectiveness of the system (i.e.,
                      probed volume of space per unit time per unit cost) is about
                      an order of magnitude higher than most existing and
                      under-construction sky surveys. The telescopes are mounted
                      on 12 separate mounts, each carrying four telescopes. This
                      provides significant flexibility in operating the system.
                      The first LAST system is under construction in the Israeli
                      Negev Desert, with 32 telescopes already deployed. We
                      present the system overview and performances based on the
                      system commissioning data. The Bp 5σ limiting magnitude of
                      a single 28 cm telescope is about 19.6 (21.0), in 20 s (20
                      × 20 s). Astrometric two-axes precision (rms) at the
                      bright-end is about 60 (30) mas in 20 s (20 × 20 s), while
                      absolute photometric calibration, relative to GAIA, provides
                      ∼10 millimag accuracy. Relative photometric precision, in
                      a single 20 s (320 s) image, at the bright-end measured over
                      a timescale of about 60 minutes is about 3 (1) millimag. We
                      discuss the system science goals, data pipelines, and the
                      observatory control system in companion publications.},
