Descripción
We present the results of optical/near-IR observations carried out in
the period Dec 1998-Dec 1999 at Spanish, Indian and New Zealand
observatories. Most of the searches proved to be unfruitful, in spite of
the rapid follow-up observations, starting 3-24 hr after the events.
This indicates that a significant fraction of the bursts occur in high
density environments preventing optical and near-IR photons to be
detected. In a couple of events, GRB 990123 and GRB 991208 the
optical/near-IR afterglows were detected. .
