Abstract

The ROTSE optical GRB follow‐up instrument offers an excellent possibility for a secondary science with the data obtained within the sky monitoring. We present and discuss the results of a project of analysing two selected ROTSE monitoring fields with the goal to study the long‐term behaviour of the objects located inside. The method developed and tested can be applied in a general way to study light changes of astrophysical objects of various types within the limiting magnitude of the ROTSE device. © 2003 American Institute of PhysicsPeer Reviewedhttp://deepblue.lib.umich.edu/bitstream/2027.42/87935/2/544_1.pd
