C. Baltay, J. A. Snyder, P. Andrews +25
We have designed, constructed and put into operation a large area CCD camera that covers a large fraction of the image plane of the 1 meter Schmidt telescope at Llano del Hato in V…
Discovery of the Bright Trans-Neptunian Object 2000 EB173
Ignacio Ferrin, D. Rabinowitz, B. Schaefer +45
We describe the discovery circumstances and photometric properties of 2000 EB173, now one of the brightest trans-Neptunian objects (TNOs) with opposition magnitude m_R=18.9 and als…
Discovery of the Optical Transient of the Gamma Ray Burst 990308
Bradley E. Schaefer, J. A. Snyder, J. Hernandez +53
The optical transient of the faint Gamma Ray Burst 990308 was detected by the QUEST camera on the Venezuelan 1-m Schmidt telescope starting 3.28 hours after the burst. Our photomet…
