The host of GRB 060206: kinematics of a distant galaxy
Christina C. Thoene, Klaas Wiersema, Cedric Ledoux +13
We present early (starting 1.6h after the burst) WHT/ISIS optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 060206 detecting a range of metal absorption lines and th…
GRB 060206 and the quandary of achromatic breaks in afterglow light curves
P. A. Curran, A. J. van der Horst, R. A. M. J. Wijers +20
Gamma-ray burst afterglow observations in the Swift era have a perceived lack of achromatic jet breaks compared to the BeppoSAX era. We present our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB…
Spectroscopy and multiband photometry of the afterglow of intermediate duration gamma-ray burst 040924 and its host galaxy
K. Wiersema, A. J. van der Horst, D. A. Kann +19
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow and host galaxy of gamma-ray burst 040924. This GRB had a rather short duration of T90 ~2.4s, and a well sampled opt…
GRB 030329: 3 years of radio afterglow monitoring
A. J. van der Horst, A. Kamble, R. A. M. J. Wijers +7
Radio observations of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are essential for our understanding of the physics of relativistic blast waves, as they enable us to follow the evolution of…
Detailed study of the GRB 030329 radio afterglow deep into the non-relativistic phase
A. J. van der Horst, A. Kamble, L. Resmi +8
We explore the physics behind one of the brightest radio afterglows ever, GRB 030329, at late times when the jet is non-relativistic. We determine the physical parameters of the bl…
A case of mistaken identity? GRB 060912A and the nature of the long -- short GRB divide
A. J. Levan, P. Jakobsson, C. Hurkett +13
We investigate the origin of the GRB 060912A, which has observational properties that make its classification as either a long or short burst ambiguous. Short duration GRBs (SGRBs)…
