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…
The host of GRB 030323 at z=3.372: a very high column density DLA system with a low metallicity
P. M. Vreeswijk, S. L. Ellison, C. Ledoux +29
We present photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow of GRB 030323. VLT spectra of the afterglow show damped Lya (DLA) absorption and low- and high-ionization lines at a redshif…
GRB 030227: the first multiwavelength afterglow of an INTEGRAL GRB
A. J. Castro-Tirado, J. Gorosabel, S. Guziy +39
We present multiwavelength observations of a gamma-ray burst detected by INTEGRAL (GRB 030227) between 5.3 hours and ~1.7 days after the event. Here we report the discovery of a di…
Very high column density and small reddening towards GRB 020124 at z = 3.20
J. Hjorth, P. Møller, J. Gorosabel +27
We present optical and near-infrared observations of the dim afterglow of GRB 020124, obtained between 2 and 68 hours after the gamma-ray burst. The burst occurred in a very faint…
The blue host galaxy of the red GRB 000418
J. Gorosabel, S. Klose, L. Christensen +25
We report on multi-band (UBVRIZJsKs) observations of the host galaxy of the April 18, 2000 gamma-ray burst. The Spectral Energy Distribution (SED) is analysed by fitting empirical…
A multi-colour study of the dark GRB 000210 host galaxy and its environment
J. Gorosabel, L. Christensen, J. Hjorth +25
We present UBVRIZJsHKs broad band photometry of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst (GRB) of February 10, 2000. These observations represent the most exhaustive photometry…
