Spectroscopy and multiband photometry of the afterglow of intermediate duration ?-ray burst GRB040924 and its host galaxy

Aims. We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow and host galaxy of gamma-ray burst GRB040924. This GRBhad a rather short duration of T90 ~ 2.4 s, and a well sampled optical afterglow light curve. We aim to use this dataset to find furtherevidence that this burst is consistent w...
