Optical Limits on Precursor Emission from Gamma-Ray Bursts with Known Redshift
C. Blake, J. S. Bloom
Making use of virtual observatory data, we present the first comprehensive sample of optical observations conducted before the explosion times of all gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with k…
The case for late-time optical bumps in GRB afterglows as a supernova signature
J. S. Bloom
Observations of late-time optical bumps have been reported for several GRBs. The timescale for such bumps, and colors of such when available, find a natural explanation as due to a…
Cosmological Uses of Gamma-Ray Bursts
S. G. Djorgovski, S. R. Kulkarni, D. A. Frail +12
Studies of the cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their host galaxies are starting to provide interesting or even unique new insights in observational cosmology. GRBs represent a n…
The Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts and Their Host Galaxies in a Cosmological Context
S. G. Djorgovski, S. R. Kulkarni, D. A. Frail +14
Studies of the cosmic gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their host galaxies are now starting to provide interesting or even unique new insights in observational cosmology. Observed GRB h…
Toward an Understanding of the Progenitors of Gamma-Ray Bursts
Joshua S. Bloom
The various possibilities for the progenitors of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) manifest in differing observable properties. Through deep spectroscopic and high-resolution imaging observa…
