Swift-UVOT captures the earliest ultraviolet spectrum of a Gamma Ray Burst
N. P. M. Kuin, W. B. Landsman, M. J. Page +22
We present the earliest ever ultraviolet spectrum of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) as observed with the Swift-UVOT. The GRB 081203A spectrum was observed for 50 seconds with the UV grism…
Jet breaks at the end of the slow decline phase of Swift GRB lightcurves
M. De Pasquale, P. Evans, S. Oates +9
The Swift mission has discovered an intriguing feature of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRBs) afterglows, a phase of shallow decline of the flux in the X-ray and optical lightcurves. This behav…
The First Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope GRB Afterglow Catalog
P. W. A. Roming, T. S. Koch, S. R. Oates +21
We present the first Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow catalog. The catalog contains data from over 64,000 independent UVOT image observat…
Optimal Coaddition of Imaging Data for Rapidly Fading Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows
A. N. Morgan, D. E. Vanden Berk, P. W. A. Roming +8
We present a technique for optimal coaddition of image data for rapidly varying sources, with specific application to gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows. Unweighted coaddition of rap…
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…
