Title: Optical/IR Follow-Up of Gamma-Ray Bursts from SMARTS
Abstract:
We request time to continue the successful SMARTS GRB program
currently being carried out with the 1.3m SMARTS telescope equipped with
the ANDICAM imager. Our request is 4 nights of target of opportunity
observing time during semester 2013B.
Our primary science goals are: 1) to detect GRB afterglows and
analyze their SEDs and temporal behaviors and 2) to search for the
supernovae associated with low-redshift GRBs. The 1.3m at CTIO is well-
suited for this program because it is equipped with the ANDICAM
instrument, a dual-channel optical/IR imager. Our targets of
opportunity can be easily accommodated on the telescope because it
operates in a queue-based observing mode.
