Abstract
[en] In this master thesis, we continued to develop and fine-tune the automated SSOS pipeline that can be automatically ran on the TRAPPIST images to search for serendipitous moving targets (asteroids and comets). We present the improvements that were made to the pipeline and its new functions (differential photometry and extraction of variable stars). The asteroids recovery capabilities have been significantly improved, having an efficiency of 100\% up to magnitude 19, compared to magnitude 17 prior to these enhancements, and a detailed report is produced for each night. We also present a few lightcurves that were obtained and that allowed us to compute rotation periods of some asteroids.
