D. A. Smith,E. S. Rykoff,Carl W. Akerlof,Michael C. B. Ashley,D. Bizyaev,D. Bizyaev,Timothy A. McKay,Anjum S. Mukadam,A. Phillips,Robert Quimby,Bradley E. Schaefer,Denis J. Sullivan,H. F. Swan,W. T. Vestrand,John C Wheeler,Jim Wren +15 more
TL;DR: In this article, the ROTSE-III network observed decaying emission from the remarkably bright afterglow of gamma-ray burst GRB 030329, covering 56% of the period from 1.5 to 47 hours after the burst.
