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 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...
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 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 Early (<1 Hr) Multi–color Afterglow of Grb 050502a: Possible Evidence for a Uniform Medium with Density Clumps
The 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope reacted promptly to the gamma–ray burst GRB 050502a discovered by INTEGRAL and started observing 3 min after the onset of the GRB. The automatic identification of a bright afterglow of r ∼ 15.8 triggered for the first time an observation sequence in the BV ri filters during the first hour after a GRB. Observations continued for ∼1 day using the RoboNet-1.0 ne...
