The GRB Follow-Up Project at the Xinglong Observatory:2006-2008

摘要：

We run the GRB follow-up system at the Xinglong Observatory of National Astronomical Observatories of Chinasince 2006,as part of the East-Asia GRB Follow-up Observation Network(EAFON)．It mainly comprises of the 80-Cm TNTand 1-m EST telescope,and can automatically respond to the GCN alerts．Both telescopes slew relatively fast,being able topoint to a new target field within about 1 min upon a request．Whebever available,the 2.16-m NAOC telescope is also used．In 2006,the system responded to 15 GRBs and detected 7 early afterglows．Six GRBs have been detected in 2007 among the18 follow-up observations．However,only 1 out of the so far 5 GRB observations in 2008 were triggered in the early phase,probably because the current Swift pointing strategy does not favor near real-time follow-up in East Asia.
