cds-question@unistra.frgamma-ray-astronomyphotometryThe Rapid Telescopes for Optical Response (RAPTOR) system at Los Alamos National Laboratory observed GRB 060206 starting 48.1min after gamma-ray emission triggered the Burst Alert Telescope on board the Swift satellite. The afterglow light curve measured by RAPTOR shows a spectacular rebrightening by ~1mag about 1hr after the trigger and peaks at R~16.4mag. Shortly after the onset of the explosive rebrightening, the optical transient doubled its flux on a timescale of about 4min. The total R-band fluence received from GRB 060206 during this episode is 2.3x10^9^ergs/cm^2^. In the rest frame of the burst (z=4.045), this yields an isotropic equivalent energy release of E_iso_~0.7x10^50^ergs in just a narrow UV band, {lambda}~130{+/-}22nm. We discuss the implications of RAPTOR observations for untriggered searches for fast optical transients and studies of GRB environments at high redshift.2006ApJ...642L..99Whttps://cdsarc.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/cat/J/ApJ/642/L99CatalogResearchIsServedByTAP VizieR generic servicehttps://cds.unistra.fr/vizier-org/licences_vizier.htmlhttps://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/642/L99https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/642/L99http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/VizieR-2?-source=J/ApJ/642/L99https://vizier.cds.unistra.fr/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/642/L99https://vizier.iucaa.in/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/642/L99http://vizieridia.saao.ac.za/viz-bin/votable?-source=J/ApJ/642/L99GETtext/xml+votablehttps://tapvizier.cds.unistra.fr/TAPVizieR/tapGamma-rayOpticaldefaultJ/ApJ/642/L99/table1RAPTOR photometry of GRB 060206recnoRecord number assigned by the VizieR team.
