Optical obs. of GRB 180205A with COATLI

Listed in IVOA Registry (Virtual Observatory)

We present optical photometry of the afterglow of the long GRB 180205A with the COATLI telescope from 217s to about 5d after the Swift/BAT trigger.

Description

We analyze this photometry in conjunction with the X-ray light curve from Swift/XRT. The late-time light curves and spectra are consistent with the standard forward-shock scenario.

However, the early-time optical and X-ray light curves show atypical behavior; the optical light curve exhibits a flat plateau while the X-ray light curve shows a flare. We explore several scenarios and conclude that the most likely explanation for the early behavior is late activity of the central engine.
