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…
Rapid Optical Followup Observations of SGR Events with ROTSE-I
ROTSE Collaboration, C. Akerlof, R. Balsano +17
In order to observe nearly simultaneous emission from Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs), the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) receives triggers via the GRB Coordinates Net…
Evidence for TeV Emission from GRB 970417a
The Milagro Collaboration, R. Atkins, W. Benbow +37
Milagrito, a detector sensitive to very high energy gamma rays, monitored the northern sky from February 1997 through May 1998. With a large field of view and a high duty cycle, th…
Prompt Optical Emission from Gamma-ray Bursts
Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +19
The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) seeks to measure contemporaneous and early afterglow optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The ROTSE-I telescope ar…
Status of the Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory
R. Atkins, W. Benbow, D. Berley +40
The Milagro Gamma Ray Observatory is the world's first large-area water Cherenkov detector capable of continuously monitoring the sky at TeV energies. Located in northern New Mexic…
