Scientific paper

We describe a search for optical GRB afterglows on images taken by the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope for the Very Wide Survey. This search is performed in near real-time thanks to a Real Time Analysis System called "Optically Selected GRB Afterglows", which has been installed on a dedicated computer in Hawaii. This pipeline automatically and quickly analyzes Megacam images, and extracts a list of variable objects which is displayed on a web page for validation by a collaboration member. This paper briefly explains the RTAS process.
