Abstract

      Quick search for optical partners of bursts of gamma radiation of high and ultrahigh energy range are conducted using the facilities of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory (BNO) of the INR RAS and a complex of astronomical telescopes at peak Terskol Observatory of the Institute of Astronomy of RAS. The bursts of cosmic ray intensity and cosmic gamma radiation are detected at the complex of BNO facilities. The search and subsequent study of optical flares associated with the detected BNO events are carried out with a complex of astronomical telescopes at the peak Terskol. To search by external target designations (from BNO installations, the GCN network, etc.) of transient phenomena in the optical range a universal program for managing a complex of astronomical telescopes was developed and created. The current state and preliminary results of the experiment are discussed.
