The X-shooter GRB afterglow legacy sample (XS-GRB)

J. Selsing, D. Malesani, P. Goldoni +53

In this work we present spectra of all -ray burst (GRB) afterglows that have been promptly observed with the X-shooter spectrograph until 31-03-2017. In total, we obtained spect…

A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant

B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1308

The detection of GW170817 in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves heralds the age of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. On 17 August 2017 the Advanced LIGO…

GRB host galaxies with VLT/X-Shooter: properties at 0.8 < z < 1.3

S. Piranomonte, J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani +19

Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the death of massive stars. Their host galaxies therefore represent a unique class of objects tracing star formation across the ob…

A deep search for the host galaxies of GRBs with no detected optical afterglow

A. Rossi, S. Klose, P. Ferrero +28

Gamma-Ray Bursts can provide information about star formation at high redshifts. Even in the absence of a optical/near-infrared/radio afterglow, the high detection rate of X-ray af…

Spectropolarimetry of the Unique Type Ib Supernova 2005bf: Larger Asymmetry Revealed by Later-Phase Data

Masaomi Tanaka, Koji S. Kawabata, Keiichi Maeda +6

We present an optical spectropolarimetric observation of the unique Type Ib supernova (SN) 2005bf at 8 days after the second maximum. The data, combined with the polarization spect…

SPACE: the SPectroscopic All-sky Cosmic Explorer

A. Cimatti, M. Robberto, C. M. Baugh +18

We describe the scientific motivations, the mission concept and the instrumentation of SPACE, a class-M mission proposed for concept study at the first call of the ESA Cosmic-Visio…
