Four Years of Observations of GRB Localizations with TAROT
2004
We present a summary of the observations performed with the Telescope a Action Rapide pour les Objets Transitoires (TAROT — Rapid Action Telescope for Transient Objects) performed over the period 1999 – 2003. Seventeen GRB localization observations where performed shortly after the burst (10s – 90min.), and in at least one case, even while the source was still active in gamma‐rays. During this period CGRO. HETE‐2 and INTEGRAL were in operation. Though no alert was missed, no source was detected, to a magnitude limit between R = 15 and R = 20. Future plans are also presented, featuring the duplication of TAROT at ESO — La Silla.
