Broadband Observations of the Afterglow of GRB 000926: Observing the Effect of Inverse Compton Scattering and Evidence for a High-Density Environment
F. A. Harrison, S. A. Yost, R. Sari +21
GRB 000926 has one of the best-studied afterglows to-date, with multiple X-ray observations, as well as extensive multi-frequency optical and radio coverage. Broadband afterglow ob…
The Unique Potential of SKA Radio Observations of Gamma-Ray Bursts
T. J. Galama, A. G. De Bruyn
Radio observations with the Square Kilometer Array (SKA) provide the agility, sensitivity, and spectral coverage to trace the evolution of the size, shape and spectra of gamma-ray…
Near-infrared detection and optical follow-up of the GRB990705 afterglow
N. Masetti
Optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB990705 error box were carried out with ESO telescopes at La Silla and Paranal in Chile and with the NOAO SPIREX 0.6-meter telescope…
VLT observations of GRB 990510 and its environment
K. Beuermann, F. V. Hessman, K. Reinsch +10
We present BVRI photometry and spectrophotometry of GRB990510 obtained with the ESO VLT/Antu telescope during the late decline phase. Between days 8 and 29 after the burst, the aft…
Spectral Energy Distributions and Light Curves of GRB 990123 and its Afterglow
T. J. Galama, M. S. Briggs, R. A. M. J. Wijers +38
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are thought to result from the interaction of an extremely relativistic outflow interacting with a small amount of material surrounding the site of the expl…
SCUBA sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursters. I. GRB 970508, 971214, 980326, 980329, 980519, 980703
I. A. Smith, R. P. J. Tilanus, J. van Paradijs +7
We discuss the first results of our ongoing program of Target of Opportunity observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the SCUBA instrument on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope…
