Abstract: BOOTES, the Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System, is mostly a Spanish‐Czech international collaboration that works to fill the space that there actually exists in the rapid variability Astronomy. It is specially aimed towards the detection and study of the optical transients that are generated in conjunction with the elusive GRBs (Gamma Ray Bursts). Since 1998 BOOTES has provided follow ups for more than 60 of these phenomena with the first of its observatories; the most important results obtained so far are the detection of an OT (Optical Transient) in the GRB 000313 error box and the non detection of optical emission simultaneous to the GRB 010220 event. With the recent inauguration of a second observatory BOOTES multiplies its science capabilities.

Estimation of non-Gaussian noise parameters in the wavelet domain using the moment-generating function
Jan Švihlík,Karel Fliegel,Jaromir Kukal,Eva Jerhotová,Petr Páta,Stanislav Vítek,Pavel Koten +6 more
TL;DR: The undecimated wavelet representation is exploited for its favorable properties and the model parameters are estimated by using the method of moments for estimating the sample moments for non-Gaussian noise in the wavelet domain.

Space variant point spread function modeling for astronomical image data processing
TL;DR: This paper deals with evaluation and processing of astronomical image data, which are obtained by WFC (Wide-Field Camera) or UWFC (Ultra Wide- field Camera) systems, and partially invariant model of optical systems allows using Fourier methods for deconvolution.
