The Calar Alto lunar occultation program: update and new results
A. Richichi, O. Fors, M. Merino +6
We present an update of the lunar occultation program which is routinely carried out in the near-IR at the Calar Alto Observatory. A total of 350 events were recorded since our las…
On the constraining observations of the dark GRB 001109 and the properties of a z = 0.398 radio selected starburst galaxy contained in its error box
J. M. Castro Cerón, J. Gorosabel, A. J. Castro-Tirado +24
We present optical and NIR (near infrared) follow up observations of the GRB 001109 from 1 to 300 days after the burst. No transient emission was found at these wavelengths within…
GRB 011121: A collimated outflow into wind-blown surroundings
J. Greiner, S. Klose, M. Salvato +31
We discover a break in the GRB 011121 afterglow light curve after 1.3 days, which implies an initial jet opening angle of about 9 deg. The SED during the first four days is achroma…
Very high column density and small reddening towards GRB 020124 at z = 3.20
J. Hjorth, P. Møller, J. Gorosabel +27
We present optical and near-infrared observations of the dim afterglow of GRB 020124, obtained between 2 and 68 hours after the gamma-ray burst. The burst occurred in a very faint…
The blue host galaxy of the red GRB 000418
J. Gorosabel, S. Klose, L. Christensen +25
We report on multi-band (UBVRIZJsKs) observations of the host galaxy of the April 18, 2000 gamma-ray burst. The Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) is analysed by fitting empirical…
Variable polarization in the optical afterglow of GRB 021004
E. Rol, R. A. M. J. Wijers, J. P. U. Fynbo +19
We present polarimetric observations of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 021004, obtained with the Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) between 8…
Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB020405 afterglow
N. Masetti, E. Palazzi, E. Pian +33
(Abridged) We report on observations of the optical and NIR afterglow of GRB020405. Ground-based optical observations started about 1 day after the GRB and spanned a period of ~10…
A multi-colour study of the dark GRB 000210 host galaxy and its environment
J. Gorosabel, L. Christensen, J. Hjorth +25
We present UBVRIZJsHKs broad band photometry of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst (GRB) of February 10, 2000. These observations represent the most exhaustive photometry…
Detection of an optical transient following the 13 March 2000 short/hard gamma-ray burst
A. J. Castro-Tirado, J. M. Castro Cerón, J. Gorosabel +21
We imaged the error box of a gamma-ray burst of the short (0.5 s), hard type (GRB 000313), with the BOOTES-1 experiment in southern Spain, starting 4 min after the gamma-ray event,…
The bright optical afterglow of the long GRB 001007
J. M. Castro Cerón, A. J. Castro-Tirado, J. Gorosabel +35
We present optical follow up observations of the long GRB 001007 between 6.14 hours and ~468 days after the event. An unusually bright optical afterglow (OA) was seen to decline fo…
Follow-up observations from observatories based in Spain
Javier Gorosabel, Alberto J. Castro-Tirado, Jochen Greiner +4
We present a review of the follow-up observations carried out from observatories located in Spain; Calar-Alto, Izanha and Roque de Los Muchachos. It summarizes the observations car…
Afterglow upper limits for four short duration, hard spectrum gamma-ray bursts
K. Hurley, E. Berger, A. Castro-Tirado +21
We present interplanetary network localization, spectral, and time history information for four short-duration, hard spectrum gamma-ray bursts, GRB000607, 001025B, 001204, and 0101…
The extraordinarily bright optical afterglow of GRB 991208 and its host galaxy
A. J. Castro-Tirado, V. V. Sokolov, J. Gorosabel +50
Observations of the extraordinarily bright optical afterglow (OA) of GRB 991208 started 2.1 d after the event. The flux decay constant of the OA in the R-band is -2.30 +/- 0.07 up…
The optical afterglow and host galaxy of GRB000926
J. U. Fynbo, J. Gorosabel, T. H. Dall +27
We present the discovery of the Optical Transient (OT) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB000926. The optical transient was detected independently with the Nordic Optical Tele…
The very red afterglow of GRB 000418 - further evidence for dust extinction in a GRB host galaxy
S. Klose, B. Stecklum, N. Masetti +36
We report near-infrared and optical follow-up observations of the afterglow of the Gamma-Ray Burst 000418 starting 2.5 days after the occurrence of the burst and extending over nea…
