Abstract

The 0.6-m Super-LOTIS telescope is a fully robotic system dedicated to the search for prompt optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The telescope began routine operations from its Steward Observatory site atop Kitt Peak (KPNO) in April 2000. This system is capable of responding to the Gamma-ray burst Coordinate Network (GCN) triggers within seconds. Together with LOTIS, these systems have been monitoring the GCN real-time data for automatic HETE2 GRB triggers. We will summarize the current capabilities of the system and present recent scientific results.
