Scientific paper

We present results from the Target of Opportunity (TOO) program to observe GRB locations with the CAM and PHOT instruments aboard the Infrared Space Observatory (ISO). Four BeppoSAX/ GRB error circles were observed by ISO on timescales ranging from days to months after the GRB events. These observations represent the first prompt GRB counterpart searches at far-infrared wavelengths. A list of observations made in this TOO program, along with results of CAM follow-up observations of GRB 970508, are presented. A marginal CAM (12 mu m) detection of a source, consistent with the position of the optical transient of GRB 970508, is reported. ISO is an ESA project with instruments funded by ESA Member States (especially the PI countries: France, Germany, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom) and with the participation of ISAS and NASA.
