I will then move on to describe our monitoring of the radio afterglow of the GRB using ALMA and GMRT. We constrain the structure of the GRB jet using multi-wavelength afterglow data. We explain the faintness of the burst based on doppler de-boosting at an extreme off-axis viewing angle. Will conclude by summarising future prospects to GRB physics from this watershed event. |
