A mean redshift of 2.8 for Swift gamma-ray bursts

P. Jakobsson, A. Levan, J. P. U. Fynbo +18

The exceptionally high luminosities of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), gradually emerging as extremely useful probes of star formation, make them promising tools for exploration of the hi…

A log N(HI) = 22.6 DLA in a dark gamma-ray burst: the environment of GRB 050401

D. Watson, J. P. U. Fynbo, C. Ledoux +33

The optical afterglow spectrum of GRB050401 (at z=2.8992+/-0.0004) shows the presence of a DLA, with log(nHI)=22.6+/-0.3. This is the highest column density ever observed in a DLA,…

Photopolarimetric observations of the new eclipsing polar CTCV J1928-5001

Stephen B. Potter, Thomas Augusteijn, Claus Tappert

We report photopolarimetric observations of a new eclipsing polar (AM Herculis system) discovered in the Calan-Tololo survey. The photometry and polarimetry are modulated on a peri…

The orbit of the close spectroscopic binary epsilon Lupi and the intrinsic variability of its early B-type components

K. Uytterhoeven, P. Harmanec, J. H. Telting +1

We subjected 106 new high-resolution spectra of the double-lined spectroscopic close binary epsilon Lupi, obtained in a time-span of 17 days from two different observatories, to a…
