Scientific paper

Multi-wavelength, broad-band optical follow-up observations of GRB 060218/SN2006aj were obtained at the University of Wyoming's Red Buttes Observatory 0.6 m telescope and the 2.3 meter Wyoming Infra-Red Observatory reflector. The data were taken from February 24 to March 4, 2006. Our data commenced 6 days after the burst announcement (Cusumano et al GCN 4775, 2006). We compared our data with previously published broad-band follow-up observations (Campana 2007) and the data are consistent with the overall long-term variations. In addition our data shows rapid flickering on a time scale of hours. This rapid flickering is on the order of one magnitude in the B and V bands and 1.5 magnitudes in the I band. These observations are consistent with shock breakout and the association of a GRB and a type I bc supernova.
