Multiwavelengthp observations of a GRB detected by INTEGRAL (GRB 030227) revealed a dim optical afterglow (OA) that would not have been detected by many previous searches due to its faintess (R~ 23). This OA was seen to decline following a power law decay with index α = –0.95 ± 0.16. The spectral index β of the OA yields –1.32 ± 0.15, with the intrinsec absorption consistent with zero. These values may be explained by a relativistic expansion of a fireball in an homogeneous medium. We also find evidence for inverse Compton scattering in X-rays. A possible break is detected at ~ 1.5 days.
