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…
Real-Time Detection of Optical Transients with RAPTOR
Konstantin Borozdin, Steven Brumby, Mark Galassi +6
Fast variability of optical objects is an interesting though poorly explored subject in modern astronomy. Real-time data processing and identification of transient celestial events…
A Distributed Control System for Rapid Astronomical Transient Detection
J. Wren, K. Borozdin, S. Brumby +7
The Rapid Telescope for Optical Response (RAPTOR) program consists of a network of robotic telescopes dedicated to the search for fast optical transients. The pilot project is comp…
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…
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…
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…
