MPE Participation GROND is build by MPE in collaboration with LSW Tautenburg and ESO and is operated at the 2.2m MPG/ESO telescope La Silla

GROND Gamma-Ray Burst Optical Near-IR Detector GROND is an imaging instrument to investigate Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows and other transients simultaneously in seven filter bands. Several dichroic beamsplitters will feed light into three NIR channels and four visual channels, each equipped with its own detector. Since mid 2007 GROND is mounted at the MPI/ESO 2.2m telescope on La Silla (Chile). For more information please see the Web pages of J. Greiner.
