In the era of multi-messenger astronomy the exploration of the early emission from transients is key for understanding the encoded physics. At the same time, current generation networks of fully-robotic telescopes provide new opportunities in terms of fast followup and sky coverage. This work describes our pipeline designed for robotic optical followup of gamma-ray bursts with the Las Cumbres Observatory network. We designed a Python code to promptly submit observation requests to the Las Cumbres Observatory network within 3 minutes of the receipt of the socket notice. Via Telegram the pipeline keeps the users informed, allowing them to take control upon request. Our group was able to track the early phases of the evolution of the optical output from gamma-ray bursts with a fully-robotic procedure and here we report the case of GRB180720B as an example. The developed pipeline represent a key ingredient for any reliable and rapid (minutes timescale) robotic telescope system. While successfully utilized and adapted for LCO, it can also be adapted to any other robotic facilities.

用于通过 Las Cumbrés 天文台网络快速跟踪 GRB 的机器人管道

在多信使天文学时代,对瞬变早期发射的探索是理解编码物理学的关键。与此同时,新一代全机器人望远镜网络在快速跟踪和天空覆盖方面提供了新的机会。这项工作描述了我们为 Las Cumbres 天文台网络对伽马射线暴进行机器人光学跟踪而设计的管道。我们设计了一个 Python 代码,可以在收到套接字通知后 3 分钟内及时向 Las Cumbres 天文台网络提交观测请求。通过 Telegram,管道让用户了解情况,允许他们根据请求进行控制。我们的小组能够通过完全机器人的程序跟踪伽马射线暴光输出演化的早期阶段,在这里我们以 GRB180720B 的案例为例。开发的管道代表了任何可靠和快速(分钟时间尺度)机器人望远镜系统的关键组成部分。虽然成功地用于 LCO 并进行了调整,但它也可以适用于任何其他机器人设施。
