Scientific paper

TAROT, Telescope a Action Rapide pour les Objets Transitoires, is a fully automated telescope which enter in routine service now (October 98) on the plateau du Calern near Nice. It features a 25cm telescope, with a 2 deg field of view, and fast slewing capabilities (up to 120 deg/s). TAROT works has entire autonomy, from day/night operations, scheduling, to the processing of the data. Its prime objective is the detection of GRB rapid counterparts (i.e. while the GRB source is bursting). TAROT is also able to make the optical source follow-up and has many secondary objectives in the field of variable phenomena. We will present the experiment details and objectives, as well as the first routine images and results of processing, possibly the first alert results, and future prospects.
