GRB 081028 and its late - time afterglow re - brightening
Swift captured for the first time a smoothly rising X-ray re-brightening of clear nonflaring origin after the steep decay in a long gamma-ray burst (GRB): GRB081028. A rising phase is likely present in all GRBs but is usually hidden by the prompt tail emission and constitutes the first manifestation of what is later to give rise to the shallow decay phase. Contemporaneous optical observations r...
متن کاملEarly re-brightening of the afterglow of GRB 050525a
We present time resolved optical data acquired by the TAROT automated observatory on the afterglow of GRB 050525a from 6 to 136 min after the GRB. We find evidence for a rapid re-brightening of 0.65 mag of the afterglow at ∼33 min after the GRB. The decay slope α is 1.14 ± 0.07 in the first part and is 1.23 ± 0.27 after the re-brightening event. The afterglow of GRB 050525a is the third known a...
متن کاملGrb 080503 Late Afterglow Re-brightening: Signature of a Magnetar-powered Merger-nova
GRB 080503 is a short gamma-ray burst (GRB) detected by Swift and has been classified as a GRB originating from a compact star merger. The soft extended emission and the simultaneous late re-brightening in both the X-ray and optical afterglow light curves raise interesting questions regarding its physical origin. We show that the broadband data of GRB 080503 can be well explained within the fra...
متن کاملThe Late Afterglow and Host Galaxy of GRB 990712.
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, as well as ground-based imaging and spectroscopy, of the optical afterglow associated with the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 990712 and its host galaxy. The data were obtained 48-123 days after the burst occurred. The magnitudes of the host (R=21.9, V=22.5) and optical afterglow (R=25.4, V=25.8, 47.7 days after the burst) favor a scenari...
متن کاملLate-epoch optical and near-infrared observations of the GRB 000911 afterglow and its host galaxy
We present the results of an optical and near-infrared (NIR) monitoring campaign of the counterpart of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 000911, located at redshift z = 1.06, from 5 days to more than 13 months after explosion. Our extensive dataset is a factor of 2 larger and spans a time interval ∼4 times longer than the ones considered previously for this GRB afterglow; this allows a more thorough analys...
