摘要：

Finding an optical-UV counterpart to a gamma ray burst may solve the burst mystery, and therefore many searches in this wavelength band are planned or underway. To both predict detectability and understand the implications of any upper limits, we extrapolate the optical-UV fluxes from the fitted gamma ray spectra of 54 bright BATSE bursts. Based on a simple extrapolation of the burst spectrum, only the most sensitive detectors, such as the ETC and HETE, will be able to detect a few (similar to 5) bursts per year.
