The optical light curve of GRB 970228 refined

Abstract

We present the R and V light curves of the optical counterpart of GRB 970228. A critical analysis of all the available data is made in light of the results achieved in the recent GRB Symposium held in Huntsville and by considering the latest information from the HST images on the underlying nebulosity.Comment: 3 pages, 2 .ps figures, Nuclear Physics style file espcrc2.sty included.
