Gamma-ray bursts and supernovae

In mid-September of 1999, a multiwavelength campaign was carried out on the coronally active RS Canum Venaticorum binary HR 1099 (K1 IV + G5 V; P = 2.84 days), during commissioning of the High Energy Transmission Grating Spectrometer (HETGS) of the Chandra X-ray Observatory (CXO). The coordinated program involved the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE), the Hubble Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS), and the Very Large Array (VLA). The objective was to study the system in quiescence, across as much of the electromagnetic spectrum as practical, and to catch any flares that might occur.
