We review Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow follow-up observations being carried out by our group in Korea. We have been performing GRB follow-up observations using the 4-m UKIRT in Hawaii, the 2.1-m telescope at the McDonald observatory in Texas, the 1.5-m telescope at Maidanak observatory in Uzbekistan, the 1.8-m telescope Mt. Bohyun Optical Astronomy Observatory (BOAO) in Korea, and the 1.0-m remotely operated telescope in Mt. Lemmon, Arizona. We outline our facilities, and present highlights of our work, including the studies of high redshift GRBs at z > 5, and several other interesting bursts.
We describe and report the status of a neutrino-triggered program in IceCube that generates real-time alerts for gamma-ray follow-up observations by atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes (MAGIC and VERITAS). While IceCube is capable of monitoring the whol
We demonstrate that gamma-ray burst afterglow spectra and light curves can be calculated for arbitrary explosion and radiation parameters by scaling the peak flux and the critical frequencies connecting different spectral regimes. Only one baseline c
We present the Hubble diagram (HD) of 66 Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) derived using only data from their X - ray afterglow lightcurve. To this end, we use the recently updated L_X - T_a correlation between the break time T_a and the X - ray luminosity L_X
The origin of fast radio bursts (FRBs), bright millisecond radio transients, is still somewhat of a mystery. Several theoretical models expect that the FRB accompanies an optical afterglow (e.g., Totani 2013; Kashiyama et al. 2013). In order to inves
The Solar Tower Atmospheric Cherenkov Effect Experiment (STACEE) is an atmospheric Cherenkov telescope (ACT) that uses a large mirror array to achieve a relatively low energy threshold. For sources with Crab-like spectra, at high elevations, the dete
