GAMMA RAY BURST FOLLOW-UPS WITH BOOTES-4
Journal Title: Odessa Astronomical Publications - Year 2014, Vol 27, Issue 1
Abstract
The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System (BOOTES), is a global robotic observatory network, which started in 1998 with Spanish leadership devoted to study optical emissions from gamma ray bursts (GRBs) that occur in the Universe. We present shot history and current status of BOOTES-4 telescope. Some details of 38 GRBs followed-up with BOOTES-4 are discussed.

ASTEROIDS EXPLORATION WITH BALDONE SCHMIDT TELE-SCOPE
CCD observations of asteroids were obtained in 2008 with the Baldone Schmidt telescope (aperture/ diameter/focal length = 80/120/240 cm) at the Baldone Astrophysical observatory (code 069) of the Institute of Astronomy o...
REVISION OF THE PHENOMENOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS OF THE ALGOL-TYPE STARS USING THE NAV ALGORITHM
Phenomenological characteristics of the sample of the Algol – type stars are revised using a recently developed NAV (“New Algol Variable”) algorithm (2012Ap.....55..536A, 2012arXiv 1212.6707A) and compared to that obtain...
Monitoring of Space Debris Rotation Based on Photometry
The number of spacecraft and space debris (SD) in orbit has become so great that there is a real threat to flight safety. The task of precision calculation of the upcoming positions of any space objects (SO) in orbit in...
THE ANALYSIS OF IMAGES OF A CIRCULAR SOURCE IN N-POINT GRAVITATIONAL LENSES
Currently, in the field of computer processing, there are difficulties. When processing astrophysical experimental data, the difficulties are connected, on the one hand, with a large amount of information that requires p...
THE SULPHUR ABUNDANCE BEHAVIOUR IN THE GALACTIC DISC STARS
The sulphur abundances in the atmospheres of the F-G-K-type dwarf stars that belong to the thin and thick disc populations (in the metallicity range – 1.0 < [Fe/H] < 0.3) were determined. The observations were conducted...
