Swift-UVOT captures the earliest ultraviolet spectrum of a Gamma Ray Burst
N. P. M. Kuin, W. B. Landsman, M. J. Page +22
We present the earliest ever ultraviolet spectrum of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) as observed with the Swift-UVOT. The GRB 081203A spectrum was observed for 50 seconds with the UV grism…
Jet breaks at the end of the slow decline phase of Swift GRB lightcurves
M. De Pasquale, P. Evans, S. Oates +9
The Swift mission has discovered an intriguing feature of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRBs) afterglows, a phase of shallow decline of the flux in the X-ray and optical lightcurves. This behav…
The First Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope GRB Afterglow Catalog
P. W. A. Roming, T. S. Koch, S. R. Oates +21
We present the first Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow catalog. The catalog contains data from over 64,000 independent UVOT image observat…
Swift captures the spectrally evolving prompt emission of GRB 070616
R. L. C. Starling, P. T. O'Brien, R. Willingale +14
The origins of Gamma-ray Burst prompt emission are currently not well understood and in this context long, well-observed events are particularly important to study. We present the…
The Two-Component Afterglow of Swift GRB 050802
S. R. Oates, M. De Pasquale, M. J. Page +10
This paper investigates GRB 050802, one of the best examples of a it Swift gamma-ray burst afterglow that shows a break in the X-ray lightcurve, while the optical counterpart decay…
Anatomy of A Dark Burst - The Afterglow of GRB 060108
S. R. Oates, C. G. Mundell, S. Piranomonte +20
We report the first detection of an optical afterglow of a GRB (060108) that would have been classified as 'dark' in the absence of deep, rapid ground-based optical imaging with th…
