Likely a big SCT.

From the publication, it is a Celestron C11 (0.28 m SCT):

"All equipment was commercially obtained and included a Celestron 0.28-m Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope (SCT) (henceforth “SCT”), a ZWO ASI120MM CMOS camera, and an iOptron CEM70 mount."

A C11. The phys.org article stated it was

a commercially available telescope priced at around US$4,000

 

Scroll down further into the article, and they used a C11, an iOptron CEM 70 mount, a ZWO ASI120MM CMOS camera, plate scale of 0.25 arcsec-pix−1 so fun times.

By the way, here is talk by Steven Hill, the first author of the paper, for the Society for Astronomical Sciences:
