摘要：

The optical identification of gamma-ray bursts discovered and localized by BACODINE/LOCBURST using the Lowell Observatory Near-Earth Object Search (LONEOS) 58-cm Schmidt-type telescope and mosaic CCD camera is described. In its final form, LONEOS images 10 square degrees of the sky (3.2 degrees x 3.2 degrees) to similar to 22nd mag (2 sigma) in a 5 minute integration. Identification of optical transients will Ee based on variability by comparison with subsequent images or previous scans oi the region. To date, optical images have been obtained of three BATSE triggers processed by LOCBURST for development and evaluation purposes.
