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…
THESEUS: a key space mission concept for Multi-Messenger Astrophysics
G. Stratta, R. Ciolfi, L. Amati +55
The recent discovery of the electromagnetic counterpart of the gravitational wave source GW170817, has demonstrated the huge informative power of multi-messenger observations. Duri…
GRB091127/SN2009nz and the VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of its host galaxy: probing the faint end of the mass-metallicity relation
S. D. Vergani, H. Flores, S. Covino +36
We perform a detailed study of the gamma-ray burst GRB091127/SN2009nz host galaxy at z=0.490 using the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph in slit and integral-field unit (IFU). From the an…
Detection of GRB 060927 at z = 5.47: Implications for the Use of Gamma-Ray Bursts as Probes of the End of the Dark Ages
A. E. Ruiz-Velasco, H. Swan, E. Troja +54
We report on follow-up observations of the GRB 060927 using the ROTSE-IIIa telescope and a suite of larger aperture ground-based telescopes. An optical afterglow was detected 20 s…
GRB 020813: polarization in the case of a smooth optical decay
J. Gorosabel, E. Rol, S. Covino +35
We present the results of a VLT polarimetric monitoring campaign of the GRB 020813 optical afterglow carried out in three nights, from 0.88 to 4.20 days after the gamma-ray event.…
Optical and NIR Observations of the Afterglow of GRB 020813
S. Covino, D. Malesani, F. Tavecchio +28
We present optical and near-infrared (NIR) photometry of the bright afterglow of GRB 020813. Our data span from 3 hours to 4 days after the GRB event. A rather sharp achromatic bre…
