“…The broad spectral features indicated a large expansion velocity similar to the type Ic hypernovae SN 1998bw and SN 1997ef Hjorth et al 2003;Kawabata et al 2003;Matheson et al 2003;Mazzali et al 2003;Kosugi et al 2004). This was direct spectroscopic evidence that at least some classical GRBs originate from corecollapse supernovae.…”

We present all the Target of Opportunity (ToO) sub-millimeter observations of GRB 030329 taken by the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT). This was by far the brightest sub-millimeter afterglow seen to date. The flux density at 850 µm was approximately constant up to a break that took place ∼7 days after the burst. This was consistent with being a jet break. The 850 µm results agree with those at longer wavelengths that show a brighter flux ∼7 days after the burst, right at the time of the break. No short-lived large-scale brightenings were detected in the sub-millimeter light curve. However, the 850 µm light curve may have had a drop < ∼ 16 days after the burst. The peak of the afterglow emission was at ∼90 GHz in the days before the break in the light curve. A simple modeling is consistent with the spectral indices remaining the same as the afterglow evolved, with the breaks in the spectrum moving to longer wavelengths at later times and the flux at the peak falling. No significant sub-millimeter emission was detected from the host galaxy.Key words. gamma rays: bursts -submillimeter IntroductionThe discovery of localized transients in the error boxes of gamma-ray burst (GRB) sources has led to intense multiwavelength campaigns that have revolutionized our understanding of these sources. For reviews see Van Paradijs et al. (2000) and Mészáros (2002).Sub-millimeter observations form a key element of the multiwavelength observations of the afterglow. They provide "clean" measures of the source intensity, unaffected by scintillation and extinction. We have therefore been performing Target of Opportunity (ToO) sub-millimeter observations of GRB counterparts using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the James Clerk Maxwell Telescope (JCMT) on Mauna Kea, Hawaii.Including the results shown here, SCUBA has so far performed ToO observations of 23 bursts (Smith et al. 1999(Smith et al. , 2000(Smith et al. , 2001(Smith e...

“…Keck has shown that solutions can be both adaptable and scalable by serving facilities with similar instrument control interface designs such as those at the UCO/ Lick Observatory including the 1 m Nickel (Grigsby et al 2008). Other professional class optical and near-infrared telescopes providing detailed literature on their remote capabilities include Subaru (Kosugi et al 2004), the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope (CFHT; Vermeulen et al 2014), the NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) (Bus et al 2002) and the Southern Astrophysical Research Telescope (SOAR; Cecil et al 2002).…”

Upgrades at the 2.3 meter Wyoming Infrared Observatory telescope have provided the capability for fully-remote operations by a single operator from the University of Wyoming campus. A line-of-sight 300 Megabit s −1 11 GHz radio link provides high-speed internet for data transfer and remote operations that include several real-time video feeds. Uninterruptable power is ensured by a 10 kVA battery supply for critical systems and a 55 kW autostart diesel generator capable of running the entire observatory for up to a week. Construction of a new four-element prime-focus corrector with fused-silica elements allows imaging over a 40 ′ field-of-view with a new 4096 2 UV-sensitive prime-focus camera and filter wheel. A new telescope control system facilitates the remote operations model and provides 20 ′′ rms pointing over the usable sky. Taken together, these improvements pave the way for a new generation of sky surveys supporting space-based missions and flexible-cadence observations advancing emerging astrophysical priorities such as planet detection, quasar variability, and long-term time-domain campaigns.

“…GRB030329: Because of the low redshift (z = 0.168) origin and bright optical afterglow (∼ 13 mag at 0.1 days), numerous follow-up observations were conducted at various wavelengths (e.g. Stanek et al 2003;Smith et al 2003;Tiengo et al 2003;Klose et al 2004;Kosugi et al 2004;Urata et al 2004;Tiengo et al 2004;Kuno et al 2004;Šimon et al 2004;Frail et al 2005;Kohno et al 2005;Smith et al 2005;Gorosabel et al 2005;van der Horst et al 2008). The 250-GHz monitoring follow ups were performed by the MAMBO-2 bolometer array on the IRAM 30-m telescope (Sheth et al 2003) and the IRAM Plateau de Bure Interferometer (PdBI) (Resmi et al 2005).…”

A planned rapid submillimeter (submm) Gamma Ray Burst (GRBs) follow-up observations conducted using the Greenland Telescope (GLT) is presented. The GLT is a 12-m submm telescope to be located at the top of the Greenland ice sheet, where the high-altitude and dry weather porvides excellent conditions for observations at submm wavelengths. With its combination of wavelength window and rapid responding system, the GLT will explore new insights on GRBs. Summarizing the current achievements of submm GRB follow-ups, we identify the following three scientific goals regarding GRBs: (1) systematic detection of bright submm emissions originating from reverse shock (RS) in the early afterglow phase, (2) characterization of forward shock and RS emissions by capturing their peak flux and frequencies and performing continuous monitoring, and (3) detections of GRBs as a result of the explosion of first-generation stars result of GRBs at a high redshift through systematic rapid follow ups. The light curves and spectra calculated by available theoretical models clearly show that the GLT could play a crucial role in these studies.
