A Large Catalog of Homogeneous Ultra-Violet/Optical GRB Afterglows: Temporal and Spectral Evolution
Peter W. A. Roming, T. Scott Koch, Samantha R. Oates +10
We present the second Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow catalog, greatly expanding on the first Swift UVOT GRB afterglow catalog. The seco…
Panchromatic observations of the textbook GRB 110205A: constraining physical mechanisms of prompt emission and afterglow
W. Zheng, R. F. Shen, T. Sakamoto +56
We present a comprehensive analysis of a bright, long duration (T90 ~ 257 s) GRB 110205A at redshift z= 2.22. The optical prompt emission was detected by Swift/UVOT, ROTSE-IIIb and…
Photometric redshifts for GRB afterglows from GROND and Swift/UVOT
T. Krühler, P. Schady, J. Greiner +18
We present a framework to obtain photometric redshifts (photo-zs) for gamma-ray burst afterglows. Using multi-band photometry from GROND and Swift/UVOT, photo-zs are derived for fi…
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…
Ultraviolet number counts of galaxies from Swift UV/Optical Telescope deep imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South
E. A. Hoversten, C. Gronwall, D. E. Vanden Berk +8
Deep Swift UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) imaging of the Chandra Deep Field South is used to measure galaxy number counts in three near ultraviolet (NUV) filters (uvw2: 1928 A, uvm2:…
A statistical study of gamma-ray burst afterglows measured by the Swift Ultra-violet Optical Telescope
S. R. Oates, M. J. Page, P. Schady +14
We present the first statistical analysis of 27 UVOT optical/ultra-violet lightcurves of GRB afterglows. We have found, through analysis of the lightcurves in the observer's frame,…
