Light-curve data for GRB 050319

Our R-band light curves, combined with other published data, can be described by the smooth broken power-law function, with {alpha}_1_=-0.84+/-0.02 to {alpha}_2_=-0.48+/-0.03, 0.04 days after the gamma-ray burst. The optical light curves are characterized by shallow decays as was also observed in the X-rays which may have a similar origin, related to energy injection.

However, our observations indicate that there is still a puzzle concerning the chromatic breaks in the R-band light curve (at 0.04 days) and the X-ray light curve (at 0.004 days) that remains to be solved.
