Early Grb Optical and Infrared Afterglow Observations
— We present the first optical observations of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow using the 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT), which is owned and operated by Liverpool John Moores University and situated on La Palma. We briefly discuss the capabilities of LT and its suitability for rapid follow-up observations of early optical and infrared GRB light curves. In particular, the combination of a...
متن کاملSwift observations of the prompt X - ray emission and afterglow from GRB 050126 & GRB 050219 A
We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Bursts GRB050126 and GRB050219A as observed by Swift. The X-ray light-curves of these 2 bursts both show remarkably steep early decays (F(t) ∝ t−3), breaking to flatter slopes on timescales of a few hundred seconds. For GRB050126 the burst shows no evidence of spectral evolution in the 20-150 k...
متن کاملEarly optical and millimeter observations of GRB 030226 afterglow
The CCD magnitudes in Johnson UBV and Cousins RI photometric passbands for the afterglow of the long duration GRB 030226 are presented. Upper limits of a few mJy to millimeter wave emission at the location of optical are obtained over the first two weeks. The optical data presented here, in combination with other published data on this afterglow, show an early R band flux decay slope of 0.77±0....

متن کاملOptical observations of GRB afterglows : GRB 970508 and GRB 980326 revisited ⋆ , ⋆ ⋆
Since January 1997, we have monitored 15 GRB fields, detecting 6 optical/IR afterglows. We have revisited GRB 970508 and GRB 980326. For GRB 970508, we derive a power-law decay exponent α =-1.19 (R-band). The luminosity of the host galaxy L relative to the characteristic luminosity L ⋆ is in the range 0.06–0.15, i.e. a dwarf galaxy. For GRB 980326, we derive a power-law decay exponent α =-1.7, ...
