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…
GRB 080913 at redshift 6.7
J. Greiner, T. Kruehler, J. P. U. Fynbo +44
We report on the detection by Swift of GRB 080913, and subsequent optical/near-infrared follow-up observations by GROND which led to the discovery of its optical/NIR afterglow and…
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…
GRB 060605: multi-wavelength analysis of the first GRB observed using integral field spectroscopy
Patrizia Ferrero, Sylvio Klose, David Alexander Kann +16
The long and relatively faint gamma-ray burst GRB 060605 detected by \emph{Swift}/BAT lasted about 20 sec. Its afterglow could be observed with \emph{Swift}/XRT for nearly 1 day, w…
GRB 060607A: A GRB with Bright Asynchronous Early -ray and Optical Emissions
Houri Ziaeepour, Stephen T. Holland, Patricia T. Boyd +8
The early optical emission of the moderately high redshift () GRB 060607A shows a remarkable broad and strong peak with a rapid rise and a relatively slow power-law decay.…
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…
Early afterglow detection in the Swift observations of GRB 050801
Massimiliano De Pasquale, S. R. Oates, M. J. Page +8
We present results of Swift optical, UV and X-ray observations of the afterglow of GRB 050801. The source is visible over the full optical, UV and X-ray energy range of the Swift U…
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…
