The host galaxy of GRB031203: a new spectroscopic study
R. Margutti, G. Chincarini, S. Covino +11
The host galaxy of the long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) 031203 (HG031203) offers a precious opportunity to study in detail the environment of a nearby GRB. The aim is to better…
GRB 070311: a direct link between the prompt emission and the afterglow
C. Guidorzi, S. D. Vergani, S. Sazonov +30
We present prompt gamma-ray, early NIR/optical, late optical and X-ray observations of the peculiar GRB 070311 discovered by INTEGRAL, in order to gain clues on the mechanisms resp…
GRB 060206 and the quandary of achromatic breaks in afterglow light curves
P. A. Curran, A. J. van der Horst, R. A. M. J. Wijers +20
Gamma-ray burst afterglow observations in the Swift era have a perceived lack of achromatic jet breaks compared to the BeppoSAX era. We present our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB…
Multicolor observations of the afterglow of the short/hard GRB 050724
D. Malesani, S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo +19
New information on short/hard gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is being gathered thanks to the discovery of their optical and X-ray afterglows. However, some key aspects are still poorly un…
Swift observations of GRB 060614: an anomalous burst with a well behaved afterglow
V. Mangano, S. T. Holland, D. Malesani +22
GRB 060614 is a remarkable GRB observed by Swift with puzzling properties, which challenge current progenitor models. The lack of any bright SN down to very strict limits and the v…
Spatially resolved properties of the GRB 060505 host: implications for the nature of the progenitor
Christina C. Thoene, Johan P. U. Fynbo, Goeran Oestlin +12
GRB 060505 was the first well-observed nearby possible long-duration GRB that had no associated supernova. Here we present spatially resolved spectra of the host galaxy of GRB 0605…
