REM observations of GRB 060418 and GRB 060607A: the onset of the afterglow and the initial fireball Lorentz factor determination
E. Molinari, S. D. Vergani, D. Malesani +32
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission is believed to originate in highly relativistic fireballs. Currently, only lower limits were securely set to the initial fireball Lorentz factor Gamm…
Infrared photometry of Cepheids in the LMC clusters NGC 1866 and NGC 2031
Vincenzo Testa, Marcella Marconi, Ilaria Musella +6
Near infrared (IR) studies of Cepheid variables in the LMC take advantage of the reduced light curve amplitude and metallicity dependence at these wavelengths. This work presents s…
UVES/VLT high resolution spectroscopy of GRB 050730 afterglow: probing the features of the GRB environment
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, E. Meurs +44
We analyze high resolution spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of GRB050730, obtained with UVES@VLT about hours after the GRB trigger. The spectrum shows that the I…
An enigmatic long-lasting gamma-ray burst not accompanied by a bright supernova
M. Della Valle, G. Chincarini, N. Panagia +14
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are short, intense flashes of soft gamma-rays coming from the distant Universe. Long-duration GRBs (those lasting more than ~2 s) are believed to originate…
Red Giant stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud clusters
A. Mucciarelli, L. Origlia, F. R. Ferraro +2
We present deep J,H,Ks photometry and accurate Color Magnitude Diagrams down to K ~18.5, for a sample of 13 globular clusters in the Large Magellanic Cloud. This data set combined…
The multiwavelength afterglow of GRB 050721: a puzzling rebrightening seen in the optical but not in the X-ray
L. A. Antonelli, V. Testa, P. Romano +27
Context. GRB050721 was detected by Swift and promptly followed-up, in the X-ray by Swift itself and, in the optical band, by the VLT operated, for the first time, in rapid response…
