Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS): Public data release
P. R. Wozniak, W. T. Vestrand, C. W. Akerlof +15
The Northern Sky Variability Survey (NSVS) is a temporal record of the sky over the optical magnitude range from 8 to 15.5. It was conducted in the course of the first generation R…
Limits on Very High Energy Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts with the Milagro Observatory
The Milagro Collaboration, R. Atkins, W. Benbow +34
The Milagro telescope monitors the northern sky for 100 GeV to 100 TeV transient emission through continuous very high energy wide-field observations. The large effective area and…
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…
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…
