GRB 070714B - Discovery of the Highest Spectroscopically Confirmed Short Burst Redshift
J. F. Graham, A. S. Fruchter, A. J. Levan +10
We detect the optical afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 070714B. Our observations of the afterglow show an initial plateau in the lightcurve for approximately the first 5 to 25 minu…
Multiwavelength analysis of the intriguing GRB 061126: the reverse shock scenario and magnetization
A. Gomboc, S. Kobayashi, C. Guidorzi +30
We present a detailed study of the prompt and afterglow emission from Swift GRB 061126 using BAT, XRT, UVOT data and multi-color optical imaging from ten ground-based telescopes. G…
The extreme, red afterglow of GRB 060923A: Distance or dust?
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, E. Rol +16
Gamma-ray bursts are powerful probes of the early universe, but locating and identifying very distant GRBs remains challenging. We report here the discovery of the K-band afterglow…
Multicolor observations of the afterglow of the short/hard GRB 050724
D. Malesani, S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo +19
New information on short/hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is being gathered thanks to the discovery of their optical and X-ray afterglows. However, some key aspects are still poorly un…
GRB 061121: Broadband spectral evolution through the prompt and afterglow phases of a bright burst
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, J. P. Osborne +33
Swift triggered on a precursor to the main burst of GRB 061121 (z=1.314), allowing observations to be made from the optical to gamma-ray bands. Many other telescopes, including Kon…
Early Optical Polarization of a Gamma Ray Burst Afterglow
Carole G. Mundell, Iain A. Steele, Robert J. Smith +10
We report the optical polarization of a gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglow, obtained 203 seconds after the initial burst of gamma rays from GRB 060418, using a ring polarimeter on the…
