Extensive X-ray, optical and radio observations of the bright afterglow of the Gamma Ray Burst GRB 030329 are used to construct the multi-frequency evolution of the event. The data are fitted using the standard fireball shock model to provide estimates of the initial energy, epsilon = 6.8 x 10^52 ergs sr^-1, the density of the ambient medium, n_0 = 1 cm^-3, the electron and magnetic energy density fractions, epsilon_e = 0.24 & epsilon_B = 0.0017, the power law index of the relativistic electron spectrum, p = 2.25, and the opening angle of the jet, theta_j = 3 degrees. Deviations from the standard model seen in the optical and radio are most likely attributable to the concurrent hypernova SN2003dh. Peaks at 0.23 and 1.7 days in the R-band are much brighter than expected from a standard SN, and there is a large radio excess over the expected afterglow flux for t>2 days. No deviation from the best-fit afterglow model is seen in the X-ray decline, indicating that the excess optical and radio flux from 1-5 days arises from a later injection of slower electrons by the central engine.

We report on XMM-Newton and Rossi-XTE observations of the bright (fluence $sim$ 10$^{-4}$ erg cm$^{-2}$) and nearby (z=0.1685) Gamma-Ray Burst GRB030329 associated to SN2003dh. The first Rossi-XTE observation, 5 hours after the burst, shows a flux de
creasing with time as a power law with index 0.9$pm$0.3. Such a decay law is only marginally consistent with a further Rossi-XTE measurement (at t-t$_{GRB}sim$30 hr). Late time observations of this bright afterglow at X-ray wavelengths have the advantage, compared to optical observations, of not being affected by contributions from the supernova and host galaxy. A first XMM-Newton observation, at t-t$_{GRB}sim$37 days, shows a flux of 4$times10^{-14}$ erg cm$^{-2}$ s$^{-1}$ (0.2-10 keV). The spectrum is a power law with photon index $Gamma$=1.9 and absorption $<2.5times10^{20}$ cm$^{-2}$, consistent with the Galactic value. A further XMM-Newton pointing at t-t$_{GRB}sim$61 days shows a flux fainter by a factor $sim$2. The combined Rossi-XTE and XMM-Newton measurements require a break at t$sim$0.5 days in the afterglow decay, with a power law index increasing from 0.9 to 1.9, similar to what is observed in the early part of the optical afterglow. The extrapolation of the XMM-Newton spectra to optical frequencies lies a factor of $sim10$ below simultaneous measurements. This is likely due to the presence of SN2003dh.
Thanks to its extraordinary brightness, the X-ray afterglow of GRB030329 could be studied by XMM-Newton up to two months after the prompt Gamma-ray emission. We present the results of two XMM-Newton observations performed on May 5 and 29, as well a
s an analysis of the Rossi-XTE data of the early part of the afterglow, discussing in particular the stability of the X-ray spectrum and presenting upper limits on the presence of X-ray emission lines.
We present radio, millimeter and optical observations of the afterglow of GRB030329. UBVR_{C}I_{C} photometry is presented for a period of 3 hours to 34 days after the burst. Radio monitoring at 1280 MHz has been carried out using the GMRT for more t
han a year. Simultaneous millimeter observations at 90 GHz and 230 GHz have been obtained from the Swedish-ESO Submillimeter Telescope (SEST) and the IRAM-PdB interferometer over more than a month following the burst. We use these data to constrain the double jet model proposed by Berger et al. (2003) for this afterglow. We also examine whether instead of the two jets being simultaneously present, the wider jet could result from the initially narrow jet, due to a fresh supply of energy from the central engine after the ``jet break.
We report the discovery of a radio transient VLA 232937.2-235553, coincident with the proposed X-ray afterglow for the gamma-ray burst GRB 981226. This GRB has the highest ratio of X-ray to gamma-ray fluence of all the GRBs detected by BeppoSAX so fa
r and yet no corresponding optical transient was detected. The radio light curve of VLA 232937.2-235553 is qualitatively similar to that of several other radio afterglows. At the sub-arcsecond position provided by the radio detection, optical imaging reveals an extended R=24.9 mag object, which we identify as the host galaxy of GRB 981226. Afterglow models which invoke a jet-like geometry for the outflow or require an ambient medium with a radial density dependence, such as that produced by a wind from a massive star, are both consistent with the radio data. Furthermore, we show that the observed properties of the radio afterglow can explain the absence of an optical transient without the need for large extinction local to the GRB.
Aim: To present the optical observations of the afterglow of GRB 101024A and to try to reconcile these observations with the X-ray afterglow data of GRB 101024A using current afterglow models Method: We employ early optical observations using the Z
adko Telescope combined with X-ray data and compare with the reverse shock/forward shock model. Results: The early optical light curve reveals a very unusual steep decay index of alpha~5. This is followed by a flattening and possibly a plateau phase coincident with a similar feature in the X-ray. We discuss these observations in the framework of the standard reverse shock/forward shock model and energy injection.We note that the plateau phase might also be the signature of the formation of a new magnetar.
