Scientific paper

Chandra observations of X-ray afterglows of GRB provide unique results. The 1 arcsec positional accuracy, high sensitivity to faint sources, combined with the unprecedented spectral capabilities of this instrument will permit: 1)unique and fast counterpart identification in other wavelenghts, OR a deep study of the property of the GRB site (host galaxy) to ascertain the nature of dark GRB (i.e. GRB Without Optical Transient) 2)To study the afterglow spectrum in its early (bright) and late phases, with the unprecedented potential capability to detect line spectral features. Both of these goals have been already demonstrated in our previous observations with CXC (e.g. Piro et al 2000, Science290,956)
