The decay of optical emission from the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 970228
Titus J. Galama, Paul J. Groot, Jan van Paradijs +6
We present the R_c band light curve of the optical transient (OT) associated with GRB970228, based on re-evaluation of existing photometry. Data obtained until April 1997 suggested…
The Gamma Ray Bursts GRB970228 and GRB970508: What Have We Learnt?
Mario Livio, Kailash C. Sahu, Larry Petro +7
We examine what we regard as key observational results on GRB 970228 and GRB 970508 and show that the accumulated evidence strongly suggests that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are cosmol…
A Search for Optical Afterglow from GRB970828
Paul J. Groot, T. Galama, J. van Paradijs +1
We report on the results of R band observations of the error box of the gamma-ray burst of August 28, 1997, made between 4 hours and 8 days after this burst occurred. No counterpar…
Observations of GRB 970228 and GRB 970508, and the Neutron-Star Merger Model
Kailash C. Sahu, Mario Livio, Larry Petro +6
We present the discovery observations for the optical counterpart of the -ray burster GRB 970508 and discuss its light curve in the context of the fireball model. We analyze the…
The optical counterpart to gamma-ray burst GRB970228 observed using the Hubble Space Telescope
Kailash C. Sahu, Mario Livio, Larry Petro +7
Although more than 2,000 astronomical gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been detected, and numerous models proposed to explain their occurrence, they have remained enigmatic owing to th…
