The ROTSE-III Robotic Telescope System
C. W. Akerlof, M. C. B. Ashley, D. E. Casperson +12
The observation of a prompt optical flash from GRB990123 convincingly demonstrated the value of autonomous robotic telescope systems. Pursuing a program of rapid follow-up observat…
Wide-Field Surveys from the SNAP Mission
A. Kim
The Supernova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) is a proposed space-borne observatory that will survey the sky with a wide-field optical/near-infrared (NIR) imager. The images produced by…
SNAP Near Infrared Detectors
G. Tarle
The SuperNova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) will measure precisely the cosmological expansion history over both the acceleration and deceleration epochs and thereby constrain the natur…
SNAP Focal Plane
M. Lampton, C. J. Bebek
The proposed SuperNova/Acceleration Probe (SNAP) mission will have a two-meter class telescope delivering diffraction-limited images to an instrumented 0.7 square-degree field sens…
An Untriggered Search for Optical Bursts
Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +11
We present an untriggered search for optical bursts with the ROTSE-I telephoto array. Observations were taken which monitor an effective 256 square degree field continuously over 1…
The ROTSE-IIIa Telescope System
D. A. Smith, C. Akerlof, M. C. B. Ashley +11
We report on the current operating status of the ROTSE-IIIa telescope, currently undergoing testing at Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico. It will be shipped to Siding…
