Astrophysics with All-Sky X-Ray observations: 3rd International MAXI Workshop (RIKEN, 10-12 June 2008)
抄録（英）
Gunma Astronomical Observatory (GAO) is a public observational facility founded in 1999 by Gunma Prefecture local government. GAO has a 1.5-m reflector, a 65-cm reflector, and other small telescopes. Moreover, there are some powerful instruments prepared for the 150 cm telescope such as a near infrared camera/spectrograph, a high resolution spectrograph and a low resolution spectrograph and imager for optical wavelength. The observatory is designed for both astronomical research and public use. We can flexibly operate it as an independent observatory, allowing us to observe time-limited transient sources. We proceed with optical follow-up observations of gamma-ray bursts, supernovae, and other variable objects and cooperate with some multi-wavelength observation campaigns of SS 433, GRS 1915+105 and so on. We introduce some GAO facilities and some scientific results from the optical follow-up observations of transient sources. We can carry out follow-up observations for new transient sources discovered by MAXI.
