Multi-wavelength observations of blazar AO 0235+164 in the 2008-2009 flaring state

M. Ackermann, M. Ajello, J. Ballet +208

The blazar AO 0235+164 (z = 0.94) has been one of the most active objects observed by Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) since its launch in Summer 2008. In addition to the continuou…

Two years of monitoring Supergiant Fast X-ray Transients with Swift

P. Romano, V. La Parola, S. Vercellone +10

We present two years of intense Swift monitoring of three SFXTs, IGR J16479-4514, XTE J1739-302, and IGR J17544-2619 (since October 2007). Out-of-outburst intensity-based X-ray (0.…

A glimpse of the end of the dark ages: the gamma-ray burst of 23 April 2009 at redshift 8.3

N. R. Tanvir, D. B. Fox, A. J. Levan +59

It is thought that the first generations of massive stars in the Universe were an important, and quite possibly dominant, source of the ultra-violet radiation that reionized the hy…

A photometric redshift of for the \agile GRB 080514B

A. Rossi, A. de Ugarte Postigo, P. Ferrero +26

Aims: The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B is the first burst with detected emission above 30 MeV and an optical afterglow. However, no spectroscopic redshift for this burst is kn…

Swift-UVOT detection of GRB 050318

M. Still, P. W. A. Roming, K. O. Mason +27

We present observations of GRB 050318 by the Ultra-Violet and Optical Telescope (UVOT) on-board the Swift observatory. The data are the first detections of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB)…
