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…
An Untriggered Search for Optical Bursts
Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +11
We present an untriggered search for optical bursts with the ROTSE-I telephoto array. Observations were taken which monitor an effective 256 square degree field continuously over 1…
A Search for Early Optical Emission from Short and Long Duration Gamma-ray Bursts
Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +16
Gamma-ray bursts of short duration may harbor vital clues to the range of phenomena producing bursts. However, recent progress from the observation of optical counterparts has not…
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…
ROTSE All Sky Surveys for Variable Stars I: Test Fields
ROTSE Collaboration, C. Akerlof, S. Amrose +14
The ROTSE-I experiment has generated CCD photometry for the entire Northern sky in two epochs nightly since March 1998. These sky patrol data are a powerful resource for studies of…
