Form 10 Abstract Proposal: AST 97-14369 PI: Saul Perlmutter Institution: University of California, Berkeley This Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) is for a rapid response search for gamma ray burst (GRB) optical emission, using the 0.5 m Automated Patrol Telescope in Australia. Searches are triggered by an alert from the BACODINE network, which receives signals from the BATSE experiment on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory spacecraft when a GRB is detected. The telescope is already under Internet and computer control, but further work is necessary to automate the search fully, by automating the roof, lens cover, etc. Observations already made of the GRBs of 970326.6, 970329, and 970616 will be published, as well as a study of background optical transient rates in large-area, very deep images taken as part of a Supernova Cosmology Project.

摘要提案：AST 97-14369 PI: Saul Perlmutter机构：加州大学伯克利分校探索性研究小额赠款（SGER）用于使用澳大利亚的0.5 m自动巡逻望远镜对伽马射线暴（GRB）光发射进行快速响应搜索。搜索是由BACODINE网络发出的警报触发的，当探测到GRB时，该网络接收来自康普顿伽玛射线天文台航天器上的BATSE实验的信号。望远镜已经在互联网和计算机的控制下，但还需要进一步的工作，使搜索完全自动化，如使屋顶、镜头盖等自动化。对grb 970326.6、970329和970616的观测结果将会发表，同时，作为超新星宇宙学项目的一部分，一项对大面积、非常深的图像的背景光学瞬变速率的研究也将会发表。
