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…
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…
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…
Multiple concentric annuli for characterizing spatially nonuniform backgrounds
James Theiler, Jeff Bloch
A method is presented for estimating the background at a given location on a sky map by interpolating the estimated background from a set of concentric annuli which surround this l…
