Scientific paper

The Explosive Transient Camera is a wide field (≡3 steradians) electronic camera array which can detect coincident optical flashes with durations of ≡10-1to 10+2seconds. It is anticipated (but not yet conclusively demonstrated) that simultaneous optical flashes will be associated with certain classes of gamma ray bursts. For the ETC, each array element is a 20°×30° FOV, cooled CCD detector. An optical transient as faint as B = +11 (1 second duration) can be detected with S/N ≥ 20, and its position determined to an accuracy of ±10 arc seconds.
