Low-resolution VLT spectroscopy of GRBs 991216, 011211 and 021211
P. M. Vreeswijk, A. Smette, A. S. Fruchter +16
We present low-resolution VLT spectroscopy of the afterglow of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) 991216, 011211 and 021211. Our spectrum of GRB991216 is the only optical spectrum for thi…
Gas and dust properties in the afterglow spectra of GRB 050730
R. L. C. Starling, P. M. Vreeswijk, S. L. Ellison +9
We present early WHT ISIS optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of gamma-ray burst GRB 050730. The spectrum shows a DLA system with the highest measured hydrogen column to date: N(…
Very Early Optical Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Evidence for Relative Paucity of Detection
P. W. A. Roming, P. Schady, D. B. Fox +38
Very early observations with the Swift satellite of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows reveal that the optical component is not detected in a large number of cases. This is in contra…
The radio afterglow of GRB 030329 at centimeter wavelengths: evidence for a structured jet or non-relativistic expansion
A. J. van der Horst, E. Rol, R. A. M. J. Wijers +3
We present our centimeter wavelength (1.4, 2.3 and 4.8 GHz) light curves of the afterglow of GRB 030329, which were obtained with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope. Modeling…
GRB050223: A faint Gamma-Ray Burst discovered by Swift
K. L. Page, E. Rol, A. J. Levan +16
GRB050223 was discovered by the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Explorer on 23 February 2005 and was the first Gamma-Ray Burst to be observed by both Swift and XMM-Newton. At the time of wri…
SCUBA sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursters IV. GRB 021004, 021211, 030115, 030226, 041006
I. A. Smith, R. P. J. Tilanus, N. Tanvir +7
We discuss our ongoing program of Target of Opportunity (ToO) sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on…
