Prompt Optical Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts.
The Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) seeks to measure simultaneous and early afterglow optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). A search for optical counterparts to six GRBs with localization errors of 1 deg2 or better produced no detections. The earliest limiting sensitivity is mROTSE>13.1 at 10.85 s (5 s exposure) after the gamma-ray rise, and the best limit is mROTSE...

متن کاملA link between prompt optical and prompt gamma-ray emission in gamma-ray bursts.
The prompt optical emission that arrives with the gamma-rays from a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a signature of the engine powering the burst, the properties of the ultra-relativistic ejecta of the explosion, and the ejecta's interactions with the surroundings. Until now, only GRB 990123 had been detected at optical wavelengths during the burst phase. Its prompt optical emission was variable...
متن کاملPrompt Observations Of Gamma-Ray Bursts with Swift
This thesis uses early-time and simultaneous data from all three instruments on-board Swift to explore how the conditions of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and their envi ronment affect their observed prompt and afterglow properties. I firstly analyse two long GRBs with properties that distinguish them from the more standard class of long GRB; XRF 050406 and GRB 061007. The X-Ray Flash XRF 05040...
متن کاملPrompt Neutrino Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts
Recent observations show that some or possibly all long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) arise from the core collapse of massive stars. In this case, the GRB environments are believed to be preburst stellar winds. We here study prompt neutrino emission from reverse shocks as a result of the interaction of relativistic fireballs with their surrounding wind matter. We find that for reasonable par...
