abstract

We imaged the position of the Naked-Eye Burst, GRB080319B, before, during and after its gamma-ray activity with sub-second temporal resolution and discovered the fast variability of its prompt optical emission. Its characteristics and similarity with properties of gamma emission temporal structure suggest that it reflects the behaviour of internal engine -- supposedly, a hyperaccreting solar-mass black hole formed in the collapse of a massive stellar core.
