Photometry and spectroscopy of GRB 060526: A detailed study of the afterglow and host galaxy of a z=3.2 gamma-ray burst
C. C. Thöne, D. A. Kann, G. Jóhannesson +58
Aims: With this paper we want to investigate the highly variable afterglow light curve and environment of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 060526 at . Methods: We present one of the…
GRB 071003: Broadband Follow-up Observations of a Very Bright Gamma-Ray Burst in a Galactic Halo
D. A. Perley, W. Li, R. Chornock +26
The optical afterglow of long-duration GRB 071003 is among the brightest yet to be detected from any GRB, with R ~ 12 mag in KAIT observations starting 42 s after the GRB trigger,…
An Estimation of the Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Apparent Optical Brightness Distribution Function
Carl W. Akerlof, Heather F. Swan
By using recent publicly available observational data obtained in conjunction with the NASA Swift gamma-ray burst mission and a novel data analysis technique, we have been able to…
The Dark Side of ROTSE-III Prompt GRB Observations
S. A. Yost, F. Aharonian, C. W. Akerlof +22
We present several cases of optical observations during gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) which resulted in prompt limits but no detection of optical emission. These limits constrain the pro…
Exploring Broadband GRB Behavior During gamma-ray Emission
S. A. Yost, H. F. Swan, E. S. Rykoff +44
The robotic ROTSE-III telescope network detected prompt optical emission contemporaneous with the gamma-ray emission of Swift events GRB051109A and GRB051111. Both datasets have co…
The Anomalous Early Afterglow of GRB 050801
E. S. Rykoff, V. Mangano, S. A. Yost +24
The ROTSE-IIIc telescope at the H.E.S.S. site, Namibia, obtained the earliest detection of optical emission from a Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB), beginning only 21.8 s from the onset of Sw…
