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…

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…

The warm, the excited, and the molecular gas: GRB 121024A shining through its star-forming galaxy

M. Friis, A. De Cia, T. Krühler +28

We present the first reported case of the simultaneous metallicity determination of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxy, from both afterglow absorption lines as well as strong emis…

Herschel observations of gamma-ray burst host galaxies: implications for the topology of the dusty interstellar medium

P. Schady, S. Savaglio, T. Mueller +11

Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are indisputably related to star formation, and their vast luminosity in gamma rays pin-points regions of star formation independent of galaxy…

A minor body falling onto a neutron star as an explanation for the unusual gamma-ray burst GRB 101225A

S. Campana, G. Lodato, P. D'Avanzo +17

The tidal disruption of a solar mass star around a supermassive black hole has been extensively studied analytically and numerically. In these events the star develops into an elon…
