A New Era of Transient Object Astronomy with Small Telescopes: Cataclysmic Variables, X-ray Binaries, and Gamma-ray Bursts
Owing to the development of the Internet service, now, one can receive and open the information about transients and variables immediately when they are needed. Here, I review the recent progress on the observations of transients, in par ticular, the activity of 1-m class telescopes. We introduce our new observatory and a 1.5-m KANATA telescope, which were developed for studies of various kinds of transients, for example, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), blazars, X-ray binaries, super novae, novae, and dwarf novae. Using the 1-m class telescope, we can perform dense sampling of them in near-infrared wavelengths, with polarimetry, and with high-speed photometry. These observations have revealed totally new features of the targets, and been opening a new era for astronomy of transient phenomena.
