The soft X-ray blast in the apparently sub-luminous GRB 031203
D. Watson, S. A. Vaughan, R. Willingale +11
GRB031203 was a very low apparent luminosity gamma-ray burst (GRB). It was also the first GRB with a dust-scattered X-ray halo. The observation of the halo allowed us to infer the…

Massive star-formation rates of gamma-ray burst host galaxies: an unobscured view in X-rays
D. Watson, J. Hjorth, P. Jakobsson +3
The hard X-ray (2-10keV) luminosity of a star-forming galaxy tracks its population of high mass X-ray binaries and is essentially unobscured. It is therefore a practically unbiased…
