Monitoring of the Prompt GRB Afterglow with the REM Telescope

In these pages we present REM (Rapid Eye Mount), a fully robotized fast slewing telescope equipped with a high throughput NIR (Z’, J, H, K) camera and an Optical slitless spectrograph (ROSS) optimized for the monitoring of the prompt afterglow of Gamma Ray Bursts. Covering the NIR domain REM can discover objects at extremely high red‐shift and trigger large telescopes to observe them when they are still bright. The synergy between REM‐IR cam and ROSS makes REM a powerful observing tool for any kind of fast transient phenomena.
