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…
Observations of the Optical Counterpart to XTE J1118+480 During Outburst by the ROTSE-I Telescope
J. Wren, C. Akerlof, R. Balsano +13
The X-ray nova XTE J1118+480 exhibited two outbursts in the early part of 2000. As detected by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), the first outburst began in early January and…
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 Observations of Gamma-ray Bursts
Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano, Scott Barthelmy +18
The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) seeks to measure simultaneous and early afterglow optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A search for optical counte…
Observation of contemporaneous optical radiation from a gamma-ray burst
C. Akerlof, R. Balsano, S. Barthelmy +18
The origin of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) has been enigmatic since their discovery. The situation improved dramatically in 1997, when the rapid availability of precise coordinates for…
