摘要:
We present an update on our ongoing effort to establish a dedicated observation program with an automated 0.6 meter telescope system that can detect GRB optical signals from 30 s to many hours after the start of the burst. The Super-LOTIS telescope has a0.8°×0.8°field-of-view, is sensitive toV&hthinsp;17∼19objects, depending on the integration times, and will be placed at the Kitt Peak National Observatory. This paper presents technical aspects of this telescope and first results from initial operations at LLNL. Utilizing real-time coordinates from BATSE, BeppoSAX, XTE, IPN, HETE-2 and INTEGRAL, our LOTIS and SLOTIS systems will measure prompt GRB optical light curves that will enhance our understanding of GRBs. ©2000 American Institute of Physics.
