Description
At 04:08:54 UT on 2007 October 25, the Burst Alert Telescope on-board
Swift detected GRB 071025 and performed a rapid slew to the GRB
location, beginning observations with the X-Ray Telescope at 146s after
the trigger.
The robotic IR observatory PAIRITEL consists of the 1.3-m Peters
Telescope at Mt. Hopkins, Arizona, formerly used for the Two-Micron
All-Sky Survey.
PAIRITEL responded to the initial Gamma-ray burst Coordinate Network
alert at 74.3s and slewed immediately to the source. Observations began
at 162s and continued uninterrupted until 3812s, when due to a problem
with the observing queue PAIRITEL temporarily slewed to another
location. Observations resumed at 9108s and continued for another 2h.
