Scientific paper

BeppoSAX recently discovered X-ray transients associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), leading to reliable identification of the GRB hosts and astrophysical constraints of the evolution of GRB events. Fundamental advances in understanding GRBs can be achieved with the arcsecond positions, high sensitivity and spectral calpabilities of AXAF/ACIS. Our TOO program will permit: (1) fast counterpart identification at other wavelengths; (2) study of the afterglow spectrum and evolution in both the early (days) and late (months) phases; and (3) possible detection of X-ray line features. We propose to study 6 bursts localized by BeppoSAX or RXTE, selecting two of the brightest for detailed multiepoch spectral study.
