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 X-ray Telescope on board Swift: status and main results
G. Tagliaferri, S. Campana, G. Chincarini +11
The X-ray Telescope (XRT), on board the {\it Swift} satellite, provides: automated source detection and position with few arcsecond accuracy within few seconds from target acquisit…
A refined position catalog of the Swift XRT afterglows
A. Moretti, M. Perri, M. Capalbi +22
We present a catalogue of refined positions of 68 gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglows observed by the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) from the launch up to 2005 Oct 16. This is a result o…
Swift XRT Observations of X-ray Flares in GRB Afterglows
David N. Burrows, P. Romano, O. Godet +18
The Swift XRT has been observing GRB afterglows since December 23, 2004. Three-quarters of these observations begin within 300 s of the burst onset, providing an unprecendented loo…
Swift XRT Observations of the Afterglow of GRB 050319
G. Cusumano, V. Mangano, L. Angelini +27
Swift discovered the high redshift GRB 050319 with the Burst Alert Telescope and began observing with its narrow field instruments only 225 s after the burst onset. The afterglow X…
Swift XRT Observations of the Breaking X-ray Afterglow of GRB 050318
M. Perri, P. Giommi, M. Capalbi +26
We report the results of Swift X-Ray Telescope (XRT) observations of GRB 050318. This event triggered the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) aboard Swift and was followed-up with XRT and…
