This is the homepage of Andrew Fruchter, an astronomer on the staff of the Space Telescope Science Institute . ... Here you can look at an HST images of the optical counterparts of gamma-ray bursts and their host galaxies. ... Therefore, substantial information on the fine scale structure of objects can be obtained by offsetting the pointing of the telescope between exposures and then combining these "dithered" exposures into a single image. ...

... 1994: . Deep CCD images of the bright gamma-ray bursts GRB790418 and GRB790613 localization regions were obtained for the first time. In both cases, a faint blue star-like object (V = 24.5 m , BV m ) was detected within the region of localization of gamma-ray bursts. ... Based on sixty daily instantaneous spectra of the object SS433, obtained on the RATAN-600 in April-May 1994, we traced its variability in four very powerful flares at five frequencies. ...
