Abstract

Aims. We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow and host galaxy of gamma-ray burst GRB 040924. This GRB had a rather short duration of T90 ~2.4 s, and a well sampled optical afterglow light curve. We aim to use this dataset to find further evidence that this burst is consistent with a massive star core-collapse progenitor.
