The optical light curve of GRB 970228 refined
The recent results obtained by the HST on the optical counterpart of GRB 970228 [3,4] have given answer to important questions concerning its light decay, its proper motion and the nature of the underlying nebula. This information must be taken into account in reanalysing all the previously published data. In this paper we aim to refine the values and lower limits (particularly those obtained w...
متن کاملThe Early Light Curve of the Optical Afterglow of GRB 021211
The Katzman Automatic Imaging Telescope (KAIT) at Lick Observatory observed GRB 021211 starting 105 s after the burst, among the earliest observations of an optical afterglow to date. Our well-sampled light curve, consisting of 18 points in the first 10 min and a total of 28 useful observations in the first 2.5 hr after the GRB, directly shows for the first time a break at t ≈ 10 min. The light...
متن کاملLOTIS Search for Early Time Optical Afterglows: GRB 971227
We report on the very early time search for an optical afterglow from GRB 971227 with the Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System (LOTIS). LOTIS began imaging the ‘Original’ BATSE error box of GRB 971227 ∼ 14 s after the onset of gamma-ray emission. Continuous monitoring of the position throughout the evening yielded a total of 499 images (10 s integration). Analysis of these images revealed...
متن کاملLight Curves of GRB Optical Flashes
The standard model of GRB afterglows assumes that relativistically expanding material is decelerating due to interaction with the surrounding medium. The afterglows are well described by the synchrotron radiation from a forward shock, while the strong optical flash associated with GRB 990123 can be attributed to the emission from a reverse shock. We give a detailed study on the reverse shock em...
متن کاملThe optical flare and afterglow light curve of GRB 050904 at redshift z = 6 . 29
GRB050904 is very interesting since it is by far the most distant GRB event known to date (z = 6.29). It was reported that during the prompt high energy emission phase, a very bright optical flare was detected, and it was temporal coincident with an X-ray flare. Here we use two models to explain the optical flare, One is the “late internal shock model”, in which the optical flare is produced by...
