Crude Limits on Prior and Prompt Optical Emission from GRBs from CONCAMs of the Night Sky Live Global Network
- 1. Michigan Technological University, Department of Physics, 1400 Townsend Drive, Houghton, MI 49931 (United States)
Description
The developing global Night Sky Live network of nighttime fisheye web-cameras (CONtinuous CAMeras or CONCAMs) monitors much of the night sky down to a limiting visual magnitude as faint as 7. Several times now, a CONCAM has imaged the position of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) at trigger time. So far, however, no optical transient has been bright enough to be recorded by a CONCAM. Several example cases are discussed
