A Statistical Comparison of the Optical/UV and X-ray Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts using the Swift Ultra-violet Optical and X-ray Telescopes
S. R. Oates, M. J. Page, P. Schady +11
We present the systematic analysis of the UVOT and XRT light curves for a sample of 26 Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). By comparing the optical/UV and X-ray light curves, we found t…
Paper II: Calibration of the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope
A. A. Breeveld, P. A. Curran, E. A. Hoversten +32
The Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) is one of three instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The photometric calibration has been published, and this paper follows up with d…
Discovery of the nearby long, soft GRB 100316D with an associated supernova
R. L. C. Starling, K. Wiersema, A. J. Levan +43
We report the Swift discovery of nearby long, soft gamma-ray burst GRB 100316D, and the subsequent unveiling of its low redshift host galaxy and associated supernova. We derive the…
