TL;DR
This paper discusses the future prospects and scientific potential of observing gamma-ray burst afterglows with the Extremely Large Telescope (ELT), emphasizing the importance of such observations in the context of the VLT era.
Contribution
It highlights the significance of ELT observations for GRB afterglows and connects to previous work comparing Swift-era GRB afterglows.
Findings
ELT will enable detailed studies of GRB afterglows.
Future observations will improve understanding of GRB physics.
Enhanced sensitivity will allow observations of fainter afterglows.
Abstract
This is a very short conference proceeding based on a poster shown at the ESO workshop "Science with the VLT in the ELT Era". For more information, see "The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-Ray Bursts. I. Comparing pre-Swift and Swift era Long/Soft (Type II) GRB Optical Afterglows" (arXiv:0712.2186) as well as "The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-Ray Bursts. II. Short/Hard (Type I) vs. Long/Soft (Type II) Optical Afterglows" (arXiv:0804.1959)
