Abstract
We find that the color indices (B−V )0, (V −R)0, (R−I)0, (I −J)0 in the observer frame of the optical afterglow (OA) of GRB030329 during t−T0 < 10 days are consistent with those of a uniform group of 25 OAs of GRBs (ˇSimon V. et al. A&A 377 (2001) 450; AIP Conf. Proc., 727 (2004) 487). Large color variations of this OA for t − T0 > 12 days are plausibly matched only by those of SN 1998bw although SN 2003dh develops an excess light in the red/IR spectral region. We also emphasize the discordance with other Type-Ic SNe which are not known to be associated with GRBs. The colors thus can help us to resolve the synchrotron component from the contribution of SN and to discriminate between various types of SN (especially important for faint OAs). We also note that the strong concentration of color indices of the ensemble of 26 OAs (including GRB030329) suggests that the local reddening inside their host galaxies is quite similar and relatively small for these events.
