Scientific paper

We propose to observe a short GRB afterglow for 60 ks with Chandra, in conjunction with Spitzer observations. This is a continuation of a Spitzer/Chandra proposal which was accepted for Spitzer cycles AO-3 and AO-4, but never activated due to lack of a suitable burst. We have been granted Spitzer AO-5 ToO time until the cryogen runs out (2009 April 22), and are requesting Chandra time to support these observations. This is a multi-wavelength approach to the problem of understanding the short GRBs, involving two great observatories, as well as numerous ground-based facilities. By measuring the broad-band spectrum of the afterglow at several epochs, we can distinguish between the models proposed for the short bursts.
