Abstract

We show the potential that the T80 telescope of the Javalambre observatory has for the GRB field. Its rapid pointing capabilities as well as its wide field of view makes the T80 an ideal tool for rapid GRB responses. We stress on using the T80 to search for optical counterparts in the the large error boxes provided by FERMI. Once an alert is received we would activate continuous cycles of ugriz-band images with the aim to construct dense lightcurves in the whole optical range. The JPAS survey, developed also at OAJ, opens the possibility of using pre-GRB host galaxy images, either as subtraction templates or to study the hosts in 54 narrow bands. The synergy of the T80 with large aperture telescopes, like VLT or GTC where we run spectroscopic target of opportunity programs, can be really productive.
