Paper II: Calibration of the Swift ultraviolet/optical telescope
A. A. Breeveld, P. A. Curran, E. A. Hoversten +32
The Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) is one of three instruments onboard the Swift observatory. The photometric calibration has been published, and this paper follows up with d…
Photometric Calibration of the Swift Ultraviolet/Optical Telescope
T. S. Poole, A. A. Breeveld, M. J. Page +28
We present the photometric calibration of the Swift UltraViolet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) which includes: optimum photometric and background apertures, effective area curves, colour…
Optical, Infrared, and Ultraviolet Observations of the X-Ray Flash GRB 050416A
S. T. Holland, P. T. Boyd, J. Gorosabel +25
We present ultraviolet, optical, and infrared photometry of the afterglow of the X-ray flash XRF 050416A taken between approximately 100 seconds and 36 days after the burst. We fin…
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…
The Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope
P. W. A. Roming, T. E. Kennedy, K. O. Mason +22
The UV/Optical Telescope (UVOT) is one of three instruments flying aboard the Swift Gamma-ray Observatory. It is designed to capture the early (approximately 1 minute) UV and optic…
