Autonomous Observing and Control Systems for PAIRITEL, a 1.3m Infrared Imaging Telescope
J. S. Bloom, Dan L. Starr, Cullen H. Blake +2
The Peters Automated Infrared Imaging Telescope (PAIRITEL) is the first meter-class telescope operating as a fully robotic IR imaging system. Dedicated in October 2004, PAIRITEL be…
Optical Lightcurve & Cooling Break of GRB 050502A
S. A. Yost, K. Alatalo, E. S. Rykoff +29
We present lightcurves of the afterglow of GRB050502A, including very early data at t-t_{GRB} < 60s. The lightcurve is composed of unfiltered ROTSE-IIIb optical observations from 4…
A contemporaneous infrared flash from a long gamma-ray burst: an echo from the central engine
C. H. Blake, J. S. Bloom, D. L. Starr +25
The explosion that results in a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is thought to produce emission from two physical processes -- the activity of the central engine gives rise to the high…
