The Bright Optical flash and Afterglow from the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 130427A
W. T. Vestrand, J. Wren, A. Panaitescu +9
The optical light that is generated simultaneously with the x-rays and gamma-rays during a gamma-ray burst (GRB) provides clues about the nature of the explosions that occur as mas…
SDWFS-MT-1: A Self-Obscured Luminous Supernova at z~0.2
Szymon Kozlowski, C. S. Kochanek, D. Stern +22
We report the discovery of a six-month-long mid-infrared transient, SDWFS-MT-1 (aka SN 2007va), in the Spitzer Deep, Wide-Field Survey of the NOAO Deep Wide-Field Survey Bootes fie…
GRB 081008: from burst to afterglow and the transition phase in between
F. Yuan, P. Schady, J. L. Racusin +30
We present a multi-wavelength study of GRB 081008, at redshift 1.967, by Swift, ROTSE-III and GROND. Compared to other Swift GRBs, GRB 081008 has a typical gamma-ray isotropic equi…
Looking Into the Fireball: ROTSE-III and Swift Observations of Early GRB Afterglows
E. S. Rykoff, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +21
We report on a complete set of early optical afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained with the ROTSE-III telescope network from March 2005 through June 2007. This set is comp…
Gamma-Ray Burst at the extreme: "the naked-eye burst" GRB 080319B
P. R. Wozniak, W. T. Vestrand, A. D. Panaitescu +3
On 19 March 2008, the northern sky was the stage of a spectacular optical transient that for a few seconds remained visible to the naked eye. The transient was associated with GRB…
The Dark Side of ROTSE-III Prompt GRB Observations
S. A. Yost, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +22
We present several cases of optical observations during gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) which resulted in prompt limits but no detection of optical emission. These limits constrain the pro…
