The FRAM robotic telescope for atmospheric monitoring at the Pierre Auger Observatory
The Pierre Auger Collaboration, A. Aab, P. Abreu +377
FRAM (F/Photometric Robotic Atmospheric Monitor) is a robotic telescope operated at the Pierre Auger Observatory in Argentina for the purposes of atmospheric monitoring using stell…
Development of the Arizona Robotic Telescope Network
Benjamin J. Weiner, David Sand, Paul Gabor +9
The Arizona Robotic Telescope Network (ARTN) project is a long term effort to develop a system of telescopes to carry out a flexible program of PI observing, survey projects, and t…
Early optical follow-up of the nearby active star DG CVn during its 2014 superflare
M. D. Caballero-Garcia, V. Simon, M. Jelinek +20
DG CVn is a binary system in which one of the components is an M type dwarf ultra fast rotator, only three of which are known in the solar neighborhood. Observations of DG CVn by t…
The first SPIE software Hack Day
Sarah Kendrew, Casey Deen, Nicole Radziwill +4
We report here on the software Hack Day organised at the 2014 SPIE conference on Astronomical Telescopes and Instrumentation in Montreal. The first ever Hack Day to take place at a…
Comprehensive multi-wavelength modelling of the afterglow of GRB050525A
L. Resmi, K. Misra, G. Jóhannesson +13
The Swift era has posed a challenge to the standard blast-wave model of Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglows. The key observational features expected within the model are rarely observ…
BOOTES Observation of GRB 080603B
Martin Jelinek, Javier Gorosabel, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado +9
We report on multicolor photometry of long GRB080603B afterglow from BOOTES-1B and BOOTES-2. The optical afterglow has already been reported to present a break in the optical light…
A multiwavelength view of the flaring state of PKS 2155-304 in 2006
HESS Collaboration, A. Abramowski, F. Acero +208
Multiwavelength (MWL) observations of the blazar PKS 2155-304 during two weeks in July and August 2006, the period when two exceptional flares at very high energies (VHE, E>= 100 G…
An unusual stellar death on Christmas Day
C. C. Thöne, A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. L. Fryer +31
Long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are the most dramatic examples of massive stellar deaths, usually as- sociated with supernovae (Woosley et al. 2006). They release ultra-relativistic j…
OCTOCAM: A fast multichannel imager and spectrograph for the 10.4m GTC
Antonio de Ugarte Postigo, Javier Gorosabel, Paolo Spano +11
OCTOCAM is a multi-channel imager and spectrograph that has been proposed for the 10.4m GTC telescope. It will use dichroics to split the incoming light to produce simultaneous obs…
Genetic algorithm for robotic telescope scheduling
Petr Kubanek
This work was inspired by author experiences with a telescope scheduling. Author long time goal is to develop and further extend software for an autonomous observatory. The softwar…
Four Years of Realtime GRB Followup by BOOTES-1B (2005-2008)
Martin Jelinek, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado, Antonio de Ugarte Postigo +8
Four years of BOOTES-1B GRB follow-up history are summarised for the first time in the form of a table. The successfully followed events are described case by case. Further, the da…
Recent GRBs observed with the 1.23m CAHA telescope and the status of its upgrade
Javier Gorosabel, Petr Kubanek, Martin Jelinek +13
We report on optical observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) followed up by our collaboration with the 1.23m telescope located at the Calar Alto observatory. The 1.23m telescope is…
Detection of the high z GRB 080913 and its implications on progenitors and energy extraction mechanisms
D. Perez-Ramirez, A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. Gorosabel +15
Aims: We present multiwavelength observations of one of the most distant gamma-ray bursts detected so far, GRB 080913. Based on these observations, we consider whether it could be…
Optical and infrared flares from a transient Galactic soft gamma-ray repeater
A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. Gorosabel +33
Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are a rare type of gamma-ray transient sources that are ocasionally detected as bursts in the high-energy sky. They are thought to be produced by ma…
The WEBT Campaign on the Blazar 3C279 in 2006
M. Boettcher
The quasar 3C279 was the target of an extensive multiwavelength monitoring campaign from January through April 2006, including an optical-IR-radio monitoring campaign by the Whole…
Discovery and identification of the very high redshift afterglow of GRB 050904
J. Haislip, M. Nysewander, D. Reichart +39
In 2000, Lamb and Reichart predicted that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows occur in sufficient numbers and at sufficient brightnesses at very high redshifts (z > 5) to…
