SMARTS Optical/IR Observations of Fermi Blazars

My site

Home

Welcome !

This program uses around 700 hours per year on two of the telescopes operated by the Small and Moderate Aperture Research Telescope System (SMARTS) at Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO) in Chile to observe all public Large Area Telescope (LAT) monitored blazars that are accessible from Chile. The data generated is used to study the relationship between the emission peak in optical/IR bandpasses and the public Fermi gamma-ray emission. Data and results from the SMARTS telescopes are made public on this weg page on a timescale comparable to that of the LAT data.

Fermi/SMARTS Use Policy

Data reduction and analysis of our data is described in Bonning et al. (2012). The data on this site are public and may be used by other investigators. If you intend to make use of this data please inform our group by email to glast@elilists.yale.edu and send copies of any resulting publications, including telegrams. Please acknowledge us in your paper by including a citation to the Bonning et al. (2012), mentioned above, and with the following: "This paper has made use of up-to-date SMARTS optical/near-infrared light curves that are available at www.astro.yale.edu/smarts/glast/home.php." Please also include "SMARTS" as a facility keyword.
