Scientific paper

The AEOS Burst Camera (ABC) is designed for rapid, deep observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) optical counterparts from the 3.67m AEOS telescope at the Air Force AMOS site in Haleakala, Hawaii. We present lightcurves of two recent GRBs detected by the ABC, GRB 060116 and GRB 060708. We have early (< 1 hr) spectral information for GRB 060708 with data taken by the ABC that were obtained from 1035s to 7222s post burst, using a low resolution (R 10) blazed transmission grating. This is the first GRB optical afterglow observed by the ABC with the grating in place. With this spectral information we are able to test various GRB afterglow models.
