Scientific paper

The UltraViolet/Optical Telescope on Swift is a 30-cm Richey-Cretien reflector that provides sub-arcsecond positions, light curves on time scales from minutes to days after a GRB, and spectra covering 160 - 700 nm. UVOT is detecting optical afterglows from ~67% of rapidly observed long GRBs that have little extinction in the Milky Way. We consider possible reasons for the non-detections. UVOT is also producing remarkable results on the evolution of GRB afterglows including GRB060218/SN2006aj as well as the evolution of young supernovae.
