Repetitive Patterns in Rapid Optical Variations in the Nearby Black-hole Binary V404 Cygni
Mariko Kimura, Keisuke Isogai, Taichi Kato +65
How black holes accrete surrounding matter is a fundamental, yet unsolved question in astrophysics. It is generally believed that matter is absorbed into black holes via accretion…
An Untriggered Search for Optical Bursts
Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +11
We present an untriggered search for optical bursts with the ROTSE-I telephoto array. Observations were taken which monitor an effective 256 square degree field continuously over 1…
The ROTSE-IIIa Telescope System
D. A. Smith, C. Akerlof, M. C. B. Ashley +11
We report on the current operating status of the ROTSE-IIIa telescope, currently undergoing testing at Los Alamos National Laboratories in New Mexico. It will be shipped to Siding…
Observations of the Optical Counterpart to XTE J1118+480 During Outburst by the ROTSE-I Telescope
J. Wren, C. Akerlof, R. Balsano +13
The X-ray nova XTE J1118+480 exhibited two outbursts in the early part of 2000. As detected by the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer (RXTE), the first outburst began in early January and…
A Search for Early Optical Emission from Short and Long Duration Gamma-ray Bursts
Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +16
Gamma-ray bursts of short duration may harbor vital clues to the range of phenomena producing bursts. However, recent progress from the observation of optical counterparts has not…
The MACHO Project LMC Variable Star Inventory. IX. Frequency Analysis of the First Overtone RR Lyrae Stars and the Indication for Nonradial Pulsations
C. Alcock, R. Allsman, D. R. Alves +26
More than 1300 variables classified provisionally as first overtone RR Lyrae pulsators in the MACHO variable star database of the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) have been subjected t…
