Super-LOTIS A High-Sensitive Optical Counterpart Search Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
We are constructing a 0.6 meter telescope system to search for early time gamma-ray burst(GRB) optical counterparts. Super-LOTIS (SuperLivermore Optical Transient Imaging System) is an automated telescope system that has a 0.8 x 0.8 field-of-view, is sensitive to Mv ∼ 19 and responds to a burst trigger within 5 min. This telescope will record images of the gamma-ray burst coordinates that is given by the GCN (GRB Coordinate Network). A measurement of GRB light curves at early times will greatly enhance our understanding of GRB physics.

متن کاملThe Very Short Supersoft X-ray State of the Classical Nova M31N 2007-11a
Context. Short supersoft X-ray source (SSS) states (durations ≤ 100 days) of classical novae (CNe) indicate massive white dwarfs which are candidates for the progenitors of supernovae type Ia. Aims. We carry out a dedicated optical and X-ray monitoring program of CNe in the bulge of M 31. Methods. We discovered M31N 2007-11a and determine its optical and X-ray light curve. We used the robotic S...
متن کاملA Search for Period Changes in δ Scuti Stars with the Super - LOTIS Sky Patrol System
Your thesaurus codes are: missing; you have not inserted them Abstract. We have observed a sample of δ Scuti stars discovered by the ROTSE collaboration in 1999 with Super-LOTIS in order to characterize changes in their pulsation periods over a time baseline of roughly three years. Achieving these goals required the creation of an automated astrometric and photometric data reduction pipeline fo...

We report on the very early time search for an optical afterglow from GRB 971227 with the Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System (LOTIS). LOTIS began imaging the ‘Original’ BATSE error box of GRB 971227 ∼ 14 s after the onset of gamma-ray emission. Continuous monitoring of the position throughout the evening yielded a total of 499 images (10 s integration). Analysis of these images revealed...

We report on the very early time search for an optical afterglow from GRB 971227 with the Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System (LOTIS). LOTIS began imaging the ‘Original’ BATSE error box of GRB 971227 approximately 14 s after the onset of gamma-ray emission. Continuous monitoring of the position throughout the evening yielded a total of 499 images (10 s integration). Analysis of these ima...
