Scientific paper

Gamma-ray burst astronomy, one of the most active and exciting frontiers in astrophysics, is now entering a critical stage -- with dramatic leaps in our understanding of these events, as well as new discoveries imminent. Given the recent progress in this field, we are now in a position to design precision, broadband measurements that can provide quantitative information on the as-yet unknown energy sources, the explosion geometry, and the surrounding medium. We propose a set of HST TOO and standard observations, synergistic with ground-based radio, IR and optical observations, as well as co-ordinated Chandra measurements, designed to answer the outstanding and fundamental questions in GRB astronomy.
