Abstract (from CDS):

Prompt or early optical emission in gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is notoriously difficult to measure, and observations of the dozen cases show a large variety of properties. Yet, such early emission promises to help us achieve a better understanding of the GRB emission process(es). We performed dedicated observations of the ultra-long duration (T90 about 7000s) Swift GRB 130925A in the optical/near-infrared with the 7-channel Gamma-Ray burst Optical and Near-infrared Detector (GROND) at the 2.2m MPG/ESO telescope. We detect an optical/near-infrared flare with an amplitude of nearly 2mag which is delayed with respect to the keV-MeV prompt emission by about 300-400s. The decay time of this flare is shorter than the duration of the flare (500s) or its delay. While we cannot offer a straightforward explanation, we discuss the implications of the flare properties and suggest ways toward understanding it.
