 d microlensing phenomena\, and papers showing\, usually among others\, tha
 t gamma-ray bursts were consistent with occurring at cosmological distance
 s. He led a group that developed and deployed the first online fisheye nig
 ht sky monitor\, called CONCAMs\, deploying later models to most major ast
 ronomical observatories. He has published as first author and refereed for
  every major journal in astronomy and astrophysics. His current research i
 nterests include trying to limit attributes of our universe with distant g
 amma-ray bursts\, and investigating the use of relativistic illumination f
 ronts to orient astronomical nebulae.\n\nIn 1995\, Dr. Nemiroff co-created
  the Astronomy Picture of the Day (APOD) with main NASA website at http://
 apod.nasa.gov/. If you are a fan of APOD\, please consider joining the Fri
 ends of APOD at http://friendsofapod.org/. \n\nIn 1999\, he co-created the
  Astrophysics Source Code Library (ASCL) open repository. Housed at MTU an
 d located online at http://ascl.net/\, the ASCL now lists over 1000 codes 
 and promotes greater research transparency. ASCL is indexed by ADS\, makin
 g participating astrophysics codes easier to locate and cite.
