Outliers from the mainstream: how a massive star can produce a gamma-ray burst
S. Campana, N. Panagia, D. Lazzati +12
It is now recognized that long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are linked to the collapse of massive stars, based on the association between (low-redshift) GRBs and (type Ic) core…
GRB 060605: multi-wavelength analysis of the first GRB observed using integral field spectroscopy
Patrizia Ferrero, Sylvio Klose, David Alexander Kann +16
The long and relatively faint gamma-ray burst GRB 060605 detected by \emph{Swift}/BAT lasted about 20 sec. Its afterglow could be observed with \emph{Swift}/XRT for nearly 1 day, w…
The extreme, red afterglow of GRB 060923A: Distance or dust?
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, E. Rol +16
Gamma-ray bursts are powerful probes of the early universe, but locating and identifying very distant GRBs remains challenging. We report here the discovery of the K-band afterglow…
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…
Near real-time selection of high redshift GRBs with Swift
S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri, D. Malesani +4
A good fraction of GRBs detected by Swift are at a large redshift (up to z=6.3, so far). Their study allows us to investigate, among other things, the cosmic star formation in the…
The Remarkable Afterglow of GRB 061007: Implications for Optical Flashes and GRB Fireballs
C. G. Mundell, A. Melandri, C. Guidorzi +18
We present a multiwavelength analysis of Swift GRB 061007. The 2-m robotic Faulkes Telescope South (FTS) began observing 137 s after the onset of the gamma-ray emission, when the o…
