Early Optical Follow-up of Gamma-Ray Bursts: The Critical Role of Robotic Telescopes
Rahul Gupta, Judith Racusin, Gor Oganesyan +26
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are the most luminous electromagnetic explosions in the Universe, and offer unique laboratories for studying relativistic jets, compact-object formation, pa…
Variable Red Giants Exploration with MASTER Robotic Net: Main Algorithms and Study of Three Mira-type Targets
Alexander N. Tarasenkov, Vladimir M. Lipunov, Artem S. Kuznetsov +4
We are discussing the capabilities of MASTER network of robotic telescopes to study variable red giant stars. We report the discovery and present archival light curves for three op…
Extremely luminous optical afterglow of an energetic gamma-ray burst GRB 230204B
Rahul Gupta, Judith Racusin, Vladimir Lipunov +47
Robotic telescope networks play an important role in capturing early and bright optical afterglows, providing critical insights into the energetics and emission mechanisms of GRBs.…
Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flare GRB 231115A: Insights from Fermi/GBM Observations
Aaron C. Trigg, Rachael Stewart, Alex Van Kooten +22
We present the detection and analysis of GRB 231115A, a candidate extragalactic magnetar giant flare (MGF) observed by Fermi/GBM and localized by INTEGRAL to the starburst galaxy M…
Gamma-ray bursts at extremely small fluence
Vladimir Lipunov, Sergey Svertilov, Vladislav Topolev
In this review we show that the space experiment with gamma-ray detector with sensitivity 2 orders of magnitude higher than existing ones will make it possible to discover up to a…
