New Constraints on Simultaneous Optical Emission From Gamma-Ray Bursts Measured by the Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System Experiment

Abstract

LOTIS is a gamma-ray burst optical counterpart search experiment located near Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in California. Since operations began in 1996 October, LOTIS has responded to five triggers as of 1997 July 30, which occurred during good weather conditions.
