Scientific paper

TAROT (Télescope à Action Rapide pour les Objets Transitoires) is a two step project whose goal is the observation of short optical transient sources, primarily GRBs. As a first step, a CCD camera will be used at the focus of a 25 cm telescope, able to slew in less than 3 seconds to any point in the sky in response to HETE alerts. The field of view will be 3 degrees. In the second, future step, we plan to operate a set of telescopes on a common mount with similar performance. The resulting field of view will be 10 degrees, corresponding to typical BACODINE error regions.
