PHOTOMETRIC OBSERVATIONS OF GRB080605 BY BOOTES-1B AND BOOTES-2

Abstract

BOOTES-1B and BOOTES-2 were first to follow-up the Swift GRB 080605. Observations started 44 s after the GRB trigger, discovering the optical afterglow with the brightness of R  = 14.7. A power-law decay with an α  = 1.27 ± 0.04 was observed during the first ~600 s after the trigger.
