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…
Detection of GRB 060927 at z = 5.47: Implications for the Use of Gamma-Ray Bursts as Probes of the End of the Dark Ages
A. E. Ruiz-Velasco, H. Swan, E. Troja +54
We report on follow-up observations of the GRB 060927 using the ROTSE-IIIa telescope and a suite of larger aperture ground-based telescopes. An optical afterglow was detected 20 s…
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…
