Energy input and response from prompt and early optical afterglow emission in gamma-ray bursts
W. T. Vestrand, J. A. Wren, P. R. Wozniak +8
The taxonomy of optical emission detected during the critical first few minutes after the onset of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) defines two broad classes: prompt optical emission correl…
A Link between Prompt Optical and Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts
W. T. Vestrand, P. R. Wozniak, J. A. Wren +20
The prompt optical emission that arrives with gamma-rays from a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a signature of the engine powering the burst, the properties of the ultra-relativist…
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…
The RAPTOR Experiment: A System for Monitoring the Optical Sky in Real Time
W. T. Vestrand, K. Borozdin, S. Brumby +10
The Rapid Telescopes for Optical Response (RAPTOR) experiment is a spatially distributed system of autonomous robotic telescopes that is designed to monitor the sky for optical tra…
Discovery of the CV ROTSE3 J015118.59-022300.1
D. A. Smith, C. Akerlof, M. C. B. Ashley +11
We report on the discovery of an outburst from a previously unknown high- latitude CV we designate ROTSE3 J015118.59-022300.1. The object was first detected on 2001 Oct 13.291 at m…
ROTSE All Sky Surveys for Variable Stars I: Test Fields
ROTSE Collaboration, C. Akerlof, S. Amrose +14
The ROTSE-I experiment has generated CCD photometry for the entire Northern sky in two epochs nightly since March 1998. These sky patrol data are a powerful resource for studies of…
