Gamma-Ray Burst at the extreme: "the naked-eye burst" GRB 080319B
P. R. Wozniak, W. T. Vestrand, A. D. Panaitescu +3
On 19 March 2008, the northern sky was the stage of a spectacular optical transient that for a few seconds remained visible to the naked eye. The transient was associated with GRB…
The Troublesome Broadband Evolution of GRB 061126: Does a Grey Burst Imply Grey Dust?
D. A. Perley, J. S. Bloom, N. R. Butler +18
We report on observations of a gamma-ray burst (GRB 061126) with an extremely bright (R ~ 12 mag at peak) early-time optical afterglow. The optical afterglow is already fading as a…
Energy input and response from prompt and early optical afterglow emission in gamma-ray bursts
W. T. Vestrand, J. A. Wren, P. R. Wozniak +8
The taxonomy of optical emission detected during the critical first few minutes after the onset of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) defines two broad classes: prompt optical emission correl…
RAPTOR observations of delayed explosive activity in the high-redshift gamma-ray burst GRB 060206
P. R. Wozniak, W. T. Vestrand, J. A. Wren +3
The RAPid Telescopes for Optical Response (RAPTOR) system at Los Alamos National Laboratory observed GRB 060206 starting 48.1 minutes after gamma-ray emission triggered the Burst A…
RAPTOR observations of the early optical afterglow from GRB 050319
P. R. Wozniak, W. T. Vestrand, J. A. Wren +3
The RAPid Telescopes for Optical Response (RAPTOR) system at Los Alamos National Laboratory observed GRB 050319 starting 25.4 seconds after gamma-ray emission triggered the Burst A…
A Link between Prompt Optical and Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts
W. T. Vestrand, P. R. Wozniak, J. A. Wren +20
The prompt optical emission that arrives with gamma-rays from a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a signature of the engine powering the burst, the properties of the ultra-relativist…
