Swift and the Global Telescope Network Lynn Cominsky Sonoma State University

The Global (nee GLAST) Telescope Network Network of ground-based telescopes Purpose: to support GLAST, Swift and XMM- Newton science, and educate students about astronomy by partnering with NASA scientists Partners: –Sonoma State University E/PO Group –AAVSO –Hands On Universe Project (Yerkes) –Elk Creek Observatory (Kansas) –California Academy of Sciences –WIRO (Wyoming + 2 other possible locations) Actively recruiting other partners (VERITAS?)

GORT (GLAST Optical robotic telescope) Celestron 14” Paramount/AP47P CCD and filter wheel Pepperwood Preserve, Hume Observatory (California Academy of Sciences) About 30 minutes north of SSU The original GORT

GTN Science Projects Active galaxy, polar surveillance –V and I observations of 2 targets / month –S/N >100, photometry ~1% High time-resolution datasets –Microvariability –Observe one target for many hours –At least once/year Gamma-ray bursts –Rapid response (GCN notification) –High S/N, but fast, multiple images more critical

GTN Educational Projects Simple image reduction and analysis Hands-On Universe AAVSO cooperation Educational unit (under development) Goals: Combine gamma-ray and visible light data Partner with scientists to publish data in scientific journals

JOIN THE GTN What/Who are we looking for? Observers with access to telescopes w/CCD Willing to observe a minimum amount (depends on project) Willing to have data archived and used by others Not up for a long-term commitment? Go through the AAVSO! Swift scientists to partner with our ground-based partners

GTN Partner Benefits: Real science with real scientist partners! Submit proposals to acquire data if you do not have your own visible-light telescope GRB Astrometry analysis GRB Photometry analysis Data archiving at SSU Light curves reported through AAVSO FOR MORE INFORMATION: Pepperwood dome
