A standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant from GW170817 without the electromagnetic counterpart
M. Fishbach, R. Gray, I. Magaña Hernandez +316
We perform a statistical standard siren analysis of GW170817. Our analysis does not utilize knowledge of NGC 4993 as the unique host galaxy of the optical counterpart to GW170817.…
The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst redshift distribution: selection biases or rate evolution at high-z?
David Coward, Eric Howell, Marica Branchesi +2
We employ realistic constraints on selection effects to model the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) redshift distribution using {\it Swift} triggered redshift samples acquired from optical aft…
The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst redshift distribution: selection biases and optical brightness evolution at high-z?
David Coward, Eric Howell, Marica Branchesi +4
We employ realistic constraints on astrophysical and instrumental selection effects to model the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) redshift distribution using {\it Swift} triggered redshift sa…
The Swift short gamma-ray burst rate density: implications for binary neutron star merger rates
David Coward, Eric Howell, Tsvi Piran +6
Short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) observed by {\it Swift} are potentially revealing the first insight into cataclysmic compact object mergers. To ultimately acquire a fundamental unde…
Is GRB 050904 at z=6.3 absorbed by dust?
G. Stratta, S. Gallerani, R. Maiolino
Claim of dust extinction for this GRB has been debated in the past. We suggest that the discrepant results occur primarily because most of previous studies have not simultaneously…
The optical afterglows and host galaxies of three short/hard gamma-ray bursts
P. D'Avanzo, D. Malesani, S. Covino +17
Short GRBs are commonly thought to originate from the merging of double compact object binaries but direct evidence for this scenario is still missing. Optical observations of shor…
