The prompt, high resolution spectroscopic view of the "naked-eye" GRB080319B
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, R. Perna +21
GRB080319B reached 5th optical magnitude during the burst prompt emission. Thanks to the VLT/UVES rapid response mode, we observed its afterglow just 8m:30s after the GRB onset whe…
The afterglow onset for GRB060418 and GRB060607A
S. Covino, S. D. Vergani, D. Malesani +32
Gamma-ray burst are thought to be produced by highly relativistic outflows. Although upper and lower limits for the outflow initial Lorentz factor are available, observationa…
GRB 070311: a direct link between the prompt emission and the afterglow
C. Guidorzi, S. D. Vergani, S. Sazonov +30
We present prompt gamma-ray, early NIR/optical, late optical and X-ray observations of the peculiar GRB 070311 discovered by INTEGRAL, in order to gain clues on the mechanisms resp…
Simultaneous Swift and REM monitoring of the blazar PKS0537-441 in 2005
E. Pian, P. Romano, A. Treves +24
The blazar PKS0537-441 has been observed by Swift between the end of 2004 and November 2005. The BAT monitored it recurrently for a total of 2.7 Ms, and the XRT and UVOT pointed it…
REM near-IR and optical multiband observations of PKS2155-304 in 2005
A. Dolcini, F. Farfanelli, S. Ciprini +23
Spectral variability is the main tool for constraining emission models of BL Lac objects. By means of systematic observations of the BL Lac prototype PKS 2155-304 in the infrared-o…
REM observations of GRB 060418 and GRB 060607A: the onset of the afterglow and the initial fireball Lorentz factor determination
E. Molinari, S. D. Vergani, D. Malesani +32
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission is believed to originate in highly relativistic fireballs. Currently, only lower limits were securely set to the initial fireball Lorentz factor Gamm…
