Prompt optical observations of GRB050319 with the Swift UVOT
K. O. Mason, A. J. Blustin, P. Boyd +18
The UVOT telescope on the Swift observatory has detected optical afterglow emission from GRB 050319. The flux declines with a power law slope of alpha = -0.57 between the start of…
Very Early Optical Afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts: Evidence for Relative Paucity of Detection
P. W. A. Roming, P. Schady, D. B. Fox +38
Very early observations with the Swift satellite of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows reveal that the optical component is not detected in a large number of cases. This is in contra…
Swift panchromatic observations of the bright gamma-ray burst GRB050525a
A. J. Blustin, D. Band, S. Barthelmy +12
The bright gamma-ray burst GRB050525a has been detected with the Swift observatory, providing unique multiwavelength coverage from the very earliest phases of the burst. The X-ray…
Ultraviolet, Optical, and X-Ray Observations of the Type Ia Supernova 2005am with Swift
P. J. Brown, S. T. Holland, C. James +21
We present ultraviolet and optical light curves in six broadband filters and grism spectra obtained by Swift's Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope for the Type Ia supernova SN2005am. The…
A short gamma-ray burst apparently asssociated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z=0.225
N. Gehrels
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright, brief flashes of high energy photons that have fascinated scientists for 30 years. They come in two classes: long (>2 s), softspectrum bursts an…
Swift observations of GRB050128: the early X-ray afterglow
S. Campana, L. A. Antonelli, G. Chincarini +33
Swift discovered GRB050128 with the Burst Alert Telescope and promptly pointed its narrow field instruments to monitor the afterglow. X-ray observations started 108 s after the tri…
