Abstract
In the Swift era, rapid multiband observations led to the discovery of the optical afterglows and host galaxies of short gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). In spite of these recent advancements, the number of short GRBs with secure detections in the optical is still fairly small. We present photometric observations of the short/hard GRB 051227, GRB 061006 and GRB 071227. We discuss our findings in light of the current models of short GRB progenitors.
