We present the optical light curves of 20 bright gamma-ray blazars and variable stars monitoring by Goddard Robotic Telescope (GRT) during the first year of operation. The bright gamma-ray blazars are Fermi LAT monitor sources and our data are used in different observational campaign to investigate possible correlations between light curves obtained at various wavelengths. The variable stars are sources for which the American Association of Variable Star Observers (AAVSO) does not have a sufficient coverage. The stars light curves will be published to the AAVSO database in the near future.
The GRT is the 14" fully automated optical robotic telescope located at the Goddard Geophysical and Astronomical Observatory. It has been operated remotely since the beginning of 2009. The goal of GRT is to understand the physics behind the emission observed in gamma-ray bursts and blazars, through the multi-wavelength observations and to detect bright supernovae while monitoring nearby galaxies.
