Scientific paper

BOOTES, the Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System, is mostly a Spanish-Czech international collaboration that works to fill the space that there actually exists in the rapid variability Astronomy. It is specially aimed towards the detection and study of the optical transients that are generated in conjunction with the elusive GRBs (Gamma Ray Bursts). Since 1998 BOOTES has provided follow ups for more than 60 of these phenomena with the first of its observatories; the most important results obtained so far are the detection of an OT (Optical Transient) in the GRB 000313 error box and the non detection of optical emission simultaneous to the GRB 010220 event. With the recent inauguration of a second observatory BOOTES multiplies its science capabilities.
