The Dark Side of ROTSE-III Prompt GRB Observations
S. A. Yost, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +22
We present several cases of optical observations during gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) which resulted in prompt limits but no detection of optical emission. These limits constrain the pro…
The Inclination Angle of and Mass of the Black Hole in XTE J1118+480
Dawn M. Gelino, Solen Balman, Umit Kizilouglu +3
We have obtained optical and infrared photometry of the quiescent soft X-ray transient XTE J1118+480. In addition to optical and J-band variations, we present the first observed H-…
Prompt Optical Detection of GRB 050401 with ROTSE-IIIa
E. S. Rykoff, S. A. Yost, H. A. Krimm +20
The ROTSE-IIIa telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia, detected prompt optical emission from Swift GRB 050401. In this letter, we present observations of the early optic…
ROTSE observations of the young cluster IC 348
U. Kiziloglu, N. Kiziloglu, A. Baykal
CCD observations of stars in the young cluster IC 348 were obtained from 2004 August to 2005 January with a 0.45 m ROTSEIIId robotic reflecting telescope at the Turkish National Ob…
A Search for Untriggered GRB Afterglows with ROTSE-III
E. S. Rykoff, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +17
We present the results of a search for untriggered gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows with the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment-III (ROTSE-III) telescope array. This searc…
AB Dor: A Single Star with RSCVn Like Activity in X-ray Band
M. Alev, A. Alpar, A. Esendemir +1
Using the archival ROSAT PSPC observations, AB Dor is found to be variable in X-rays. The periodic variations are consistent with previously reported rotational period of 0.514 day…
