Strategies for prompt searches for GRB afterglows: the discovery of the GRB 001011 optical/near-infrared counterpart using colour-colour selection
J. Gorosabel, J. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +25
We report the discovery of the optical and near-infrared counterparts to GRB 001011. The GRB 001011 error box determined by Beppo-SAX was simultaneously imaged in the near-infrared…
The star-formation rate in the host of GRB 990712
P. M. Vreeswijk, R. P. Fender, M. A. Garrett +3
We have observed the host galaxy of GRB 990712 at 1.4 GHz with the Australia Telescope Compact Array, to obtain an estimate of its total star-formation rate. We do not detect a sou…
The bright optical afterglow of the long GRB 001007
J. M. Castro Cerón, A. J. Castro-Tirado, J. Gorosabel +35
We present optical follow up observations of the long GRB 001007 between 6.14 hours and ~468 days after the event. An unusually bright optical afterglow (OA) was seen to decline fo…
X-ray Destruction of Dust Along the Line of Sight to Gamma-Ray Bursts
Andrew S. Fruchter, Julian H. Krolik, James E. Rhoads
We show that if all gamma-ray bursts emit X-rays in a way similar to those observed by BeppoSax, much of the extinction along the line of sight in the host galaxy of the burst can…
Host Galaxies of Gamma-ray Bursts: Spectral Energy Distributions and Internal Extinction
V. V. Sokolov, T. A. Fatkhullin, A. J. Castro-Tirado +6
We present BVRcIc broad-band flux spectra for the host galaxies of GRB970508, GRB980613, GRB980703, GRB990123 and GRB991208 obtained with the 6-m telescope of SAO RAS. The BVRcIc o…
