THE AFTERGLOW AND ENVIRONMENT OF THE SHORT GRB 111117A
We present multi-wavelength observations of the afterglow of the short GRB 111117A, and follow-up observations of its host galaxy. From rapid optical and radio observations, we place limits of r ≳ 25.5 mag at δt ≈ 0.55 days and Fν(5.8 GHz) ≲ 18 μJy at δt ≈ 0.50 days, respectively. …
