General Properties of Recurrent Bursts from SGRs
R. L. Aptekar, P. S. Butterworth, T. L. Cline +5
General properties of SGR bursts are considered using observational data collected in the Konus catalog of SGR activity.
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…
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…
Activity of the Soft Gamma Repeater SGR 1900+14 in 1998 from Konus-Wind Observations: 2. The Giant August 27 Outburst
E. P. Mazets, T. L. Cline, R. L. Aptekar +5
The results of observations of the giant 1998 August 27 outburst in SGR 1900+14 are presented. A comparison is made of the two extremely intense events on August 27, 1998 and March…
Super-LOTIS: A High-Sensitive Optical Counterpart Search Experiment
H. S. Park, E. Ables, D. L. Band +14
We are constructing a 0.6 meter telescope system to search for early time gamma-ray burst(GRB) optical counterparts. Super-LOTIS (Super-Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System)…
First Year Results From LOTIS
G. G. Williams, H. S. Park, E. Ables +15
LOTIS (Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System) is a gamma-ray burst optical counterpart search experiment located near Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. The…
