The extraordinarily bright optical afterglow of GRB 991208 and its host galaxy
A. J. Castro-Tirado, V. V. Sokolov, J. Gorosabel +50
Observations of the extraordinarily bright optical afterglow (OA) of GRB 991208 started 2.1 d after the event. The flux decay constant of the OA in the R-band is -2.30 +/- 0.07 up…
VLA and MERLIN monitoring observations of the gravitational lens system B1030+074
E. Xanthopoulos, I. W. A. Browne, A. R. Patnaik +1
We present VLA and MERLIN monitoring data of the JVAS gravitational lens system B1030+074. The system was monitored with the VLA from February 1998 to October 1998 at 8.4-GHz durin…
The core-jet structure of the JVAS gravitational lens B1030+074
E. Xanthopoulos, M. Norbury, A. Karidis +6
We present results from VLBA+Effelsberg 1.7 GHz, VLBA 8.4 GHz and VLBA 15 GHz observations of the JVAS gravitational lens system B1030+074. The VLBA+Effelsberg 1.7 GHz data with 3…
CLASS B0827+525: `Dark lens' or binary radio-loud quasar?
L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn, C. D. Fassnacht +12
We present radio, optical, near-infrared and spectroscopic observations of the source B0827+525. We consider this source as the best candidate from the Cosmic Lens All-Sky Survey (…
A time-delay determination from VLA light curves of the CLASS gravitational lens B1600+434
L. V. E. Koopmans, A. G. de Bruyn, E. Xanthopoulos +1
We present Very Large Array (VLA) 8.5-GHz light curves of the two lens images of the Cosmic Lens All Sky Survey (CLASS) gravitational lens B1600+434. We find a nearly linear decrea…
Everything you ever wanted to know about the JVAS gravitational lens system B1030+074 but were afraid to ask
E. Xanthopoulos, I. W. A. Browne, P. N. Wilkinson +6
We present an overview of all the observations (radio - VLA, MERLIN, VLBA,EVN - and optical - WFPC2 and NICMOS -) that were initially used to confirm the gravitational lens nature…
