Optical transient search strategy via wide-field monitoring

Optical transient search strategy via wide-field monitoring We discuss the search strategy of fast optical transients accompanying gamma-ray bursts in wide-field monitoring. We describe the instrumentation and methods of observational data reduction, allowing to detect optical flashes brighter than 10–11 stellar magnitudes with temporal resolution of 0.13 s. The prospects of both instrument engineering, as well as development of techniques to search and investigate optical transients of various nature in wide fields are also discussed. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Astrophysical Bulletin Springer Journals

Abstract

We discuss the search strategy of fast optical transients accompanying gamma-ray bursts in wide-field monitoring. We describe the instrumentation and methods of observational data reduction, allowing to detect optical flashes brighter than 10–11 stellar magnitudes with temporal resolution of 0.13 s. The prospects of both instrument engineering, as well as development of techniques to search and investigate optical transients of various nature in wide fields are also discussed.
