Scientific paper

An imaging system capable of operating in seven colours simultaneously, has been designed, built, and recently commissioned at the 2.2-m MPI/ESO telescope on La Silla. This instrument is called GROND, for Gamma-Ray Burst Optical and Near-Infrared Detector. GROND has been designed for rapid observations of gamma-ray burst afterglows. The seven bands from Sloan griz to near-infrared JHK allow an immediate photometric redshift determination for bursts at z ≳ 3.5. In addition, the unique capability of simultaneous multi-band imaging allows for many other scientific applications.
