We have gathered optical photometry data from the literature on a large sample of Swift-era gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows including GRBs up to September 2009, for total 76 GRBs, and present an additional three pre-Swift not included in earlier sample. Furthermore, we publish 840 new points 42 GRB afterglows, sets 050319, 050408, 050802, 050820A, 050922C, 060418, 080413A 080810. analyzed light curves all derived spectral energy distributions with best quality, allowing us estimate host...
The optical afterglow spectrum of GRB050401 (at z=2.8992+/-0.0004) shows the presence a DLA, with log(nHI)=22.6+/-0.3. This is highest column density ever observed in and about five times larger than strongest DLA detected so far any QSO spectrum. From spectrum, we also find very large Zn density, allowing us to infer an abundance [Zn/H]=-1.0+/-0.4. These columns are supported by X-ray from Swift-XRT which (in excess Galactic) log(nH)=22.21^{+0.06}_{-0.08} assuming solar abundances z=2.9)....
