Abstract

Abstract. Using the 2.56-m Nordic Optical Telescope (NOT) on La Palma we have observed most of the known optical afterglows to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). We here briefly report on the discoveries of the optical afterglows of two recent SAX GRBs (GRB 980519 and GRB 980613) and the detection of their host galaxies. GRB 980519 was bright upon discovery (R 20) and occurred in a faint (R 26) galaxy whereas GRB 980613 was faint upon discovery (R 23) but occurred in a bright galaxy (R 23). Both host galaxies may show signs of interaction. GRB 980519 led to the earliest reported optical identication to date. We describe our continued eorts to produce optical identications soon after optical observations have begun. Key words: cosmology: observati...
