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…
Long-term multiwavelength monitoring and reverberation mapping of NGC 2617 during a changing-look event
V. L. Oknyansky, M. S. Brotherton, S. S. Tsygankov +32
We present the results of photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaigns of the changing look AGN NGC~2617 carried out from 2016 until 2022 and covering the wavelength range fr…
Orphan optical flare as SOSS emission afterglow, localization in time
V. Lipunov, V. Kornilov, K. Zhirkov +24
We report on MASTER optical observations of an afterglow-like optical and X-ray transient AT2021lfa/ZTF21aayokph. We detected the initial steady brightening of the transient at 7σ…
The early afterglow of GRB 190829A
S. Dichiara, E. Troja, V. Lipunov +19
GRB 190829A at z=0.0785 is the fourth closest long GRB ever detected by the Neil Gehrels Swift observatory, and the third confirmed case with a very high energy component. We prese…
Spectropolarimetry and photometry of the early afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB191221B
D. A. H. Buckley, S. Bagnulo, R. J. Britto +27
We report on results of spectropolarimetry of the afterglow of the long gamma-ray burst GRB 191221B, obtained with SALT/RSS and VLT/FORS2, as well as photometry from two telescopes…
