The needle in the 100 deg2 haystack: Uncovering afterglows of Fermi GRBs with the Palomar Transient Factory

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has greatly expanded the number and energy window of observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, the coarse localizations of tens to a hundred square degrees provided by the Fermi GRB Monitor instrument have posed a formidable obstacle to locating the bursts...
