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…
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…
