GRBs as Probes of Massive Stars Near and Far
J. Fynbo, D. Malesani
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts are the manifestations of massive stellar death. Due to the immense energy release they are detectable from most of the observable universe. In this…
The short GRB070707 afterglow and its very faint host galaxy
S. Piranomonte, P. D'Avanzo, S. Covino +18
We present the results from an ESO/VLT campaign aimed at studying the afterglow properties of the short/hard gamma ray burst GRB 070707. Observations were carried out at ten differ…
GRB 070306: A Highly Extinguished Afterglow
A. O. Jaunsen, E. Rol, D. J. Watson +12
We report on the highly extinguished afterglow of GRB 070306 and the properties of the host galaxy. An optical afterglow was not detected at the location of the burst, but in near-…
The Spectral Lag of GRB060505: A Likely Member of the Long Duration Class
S. McBreen, S. Foley, D. Watson +7
Two long gamma-ray bursts, GRB 060505 and GRB 060614, occurred in nearby galaxies at redshifts of 0.089 and 0.125 respectively. Due to their proximity and durations, deep follow-up…
