Abstract

Cerro La Silla in June welcomed a new small telescope on its top: The Rapid Eye Mount (REM) Italian Telescope: a telescope which has been conceived and designed to immediately point and observe the Gamma-Ray Bursts detected by satellites. Its immediate data gathering capability and its accurate astrometry in the optical and in the near-infrared will also allow an early alert and pointing of the Very Large Telescope.
