Martin Jelínek,A. J. Castro-Tirado,Antonio de Ugarte Postigo,Petr Kubánek,S. Guziy,Javier Gorosabel,Ronan Cunniffe,Stanislav Vítek,René Hudec,Victor Reglero,L. Sabau-Graziati +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, four years of BOOTES-1B GRB follow-up history are summarised for the first time in the form of a table, where successfully followed events are described case by case.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
The burst observer and optical transient exploring system (BOOTES)
TL;DR: The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System (BOOTES) as discussed by the authors was developed in Spain, in collaboration with the Astronomical Institute at Ondrejov, Czech Republic.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors report on ground-based and HST+STIS imaging of the afterglow and host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) of March 5 2002.
Journal ArticleDOI
