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…
Energy input and response from prompt and early optical afterglow emission in gamma-ray bursts
W. T. Vestrand, J. A. Wren, P. R. Wozniak +8
The taxonomy of optical emission detected during the critical first few minutes after the onset of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) defines two broad classes: prompt optical emission correl…
RAPTOR observations of delayed explosive activity in the high-redshift gamma-ray burst GRB 060206
P. R. Wozniak, W. T. Vestrand, J. A. Wren +3
The RAPid Telescopes for Optical Response (RAPTOR) system at Los Alamos National Laboratory observed GRB 060206 starting 48.1 minutes after gamma-ray emission triggered the Burst A…
Early-Time Observations of the GRB 050319 Optical Transient
R. M. Quimby, E. S. Rykoff, S. A. Yost +18
We present the unfiltered ROTSE-III light curve of the optical transient associated with GRB 050319 beginning 4 s after the cessation of gamma-ray activity. We fit a power-law func…
Optical Lightcurve & Cooling Break of GRB 050502A
S. A. Yost, K. Alatalo, E. S. Rykoff +29
We present lightcurves of the afterglow of GRB050502A, including very early data at t-t_{GRB} < 60s. The lightcurve is composed of unfiltered ROTSE-IIIb optical observations from 4…
Prompt Optical Detection of GRB 050401 with ROTSE-IIIa
E. S. Rykoff, S. A. Yost, H. A. Krimm +20
The ROTSE-IIIa telescope at Siding Spring Observatory, Australia, detected prompt optical emission from Swift GRB 050401. In this letter, we present observations of the early optic…
