Spatially-resolved dust properties of the GRB 980425 host galaxy
Michał J. Michałowski, L. K. Hunt, E. Palazzi +30
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been proposed as a tool for studying star formation in the Universe, so it is crucial to investigate whether their host galaxies and immediate environm…
The metallicity and dust content of a redshift 5 gamma-ray burst host galaxy
M. Sparre, O. E. Hartoog, T. Krühler +26
Observations of the afterglows of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) allow the study of star-forming galaxies across most of cosmic history. Here we present observations of GRB 111008A f…
Spectroscopy of the short-hard GRB 130603B: The host galaxy and environment of a compact object merger
A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thoene, A. Rowlinson +40
Short duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to be related to the violent merger of compact objects, such as neutron stars or black holes, which makes them promising sources…
A method for quantifying the Gamma Ray Burst "bias". Application in the redshift range 0-1.1
S. Boissier, R. Salvaterra, E. Le Floc'h +5
Long Gamma Ray Bursts (LGRBs) are related to the final stages of evolution of massive stars. As such, they should follow the star formation rate (SFR) of galaxies. We can use them…
Molecular Hydrogen in the Damped Lyman-alpha System towards GRB 120815A at z=2.36
T. Krühler, C. Ledoux, J. P. U. Fynbo +32
We present the discovery of molecular hydrogen (H_2), including the presence of vibrationally-excited H_2^* in the optical spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 120815A at z=2.36 obtain…
Clustering of galaxies around GRB sight-lines
Vladimir Sudilovsky, Jochen Greiner, Arne Rau +11
There is evidence of an overdensity of strong intervening MgII absorption line systems distributed along the lines of sight towards GRB afterglows relative to quasar sight-lines. I…
An Independent Measurement of the Incidence of MgII Absorbers along Gamma-Ray Burst Sightlines: the End of the Mystery?
A. Cucchiara, J. X. Prochaska, G. Zhu +15
In 2006, Prochter et al. reported a statistically significant enhancement of very strong Mg II absorption systems intervening the sightlines to gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) relative to…
Detailed optical and near-infrared polarimetry, spectroscopy and broadband photometry of the afterglow of GRB 091018: Polarisation evolution
K. Wiersema, P. A. Curran, T. Kruehler +30
[Abridged] A number of phenomena have been observed in GRB afterglows that defy explanation by simple versions of the standard fireball model, leading to a variety of new models. P…
Discovery of a compact gas-rich DLA galaxy at z = 2.2: evidences for a starburst-driven outflow
P. Noterdaeme, P. Laursen, P. Petitjean +6
We present the detection of Ly-alpha, [OIII] and H-alpha emission associated with an extremely strong DLA system (N(HI) = 10^22.10 cm^-2) at z=2.207 towards the quasar SDSS J113520…
A complete sample of bright Swift Long Gamma-Ray Bursts: Sample presentation, Luminosity Function and evolution
R. Salvaterra, S. Campana, S. D. Vergani +11
We present a carefully selected sub-sample of Swift Long Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs), that is complete in redshift. The sample is constructed by considering only bursts with favorable…
Discovery of the nearby long, soft GRB 100316D with an associated supernova
R. L. C. Starling, K. Wiersema, A. J. Levan +43
We report the Swift discovery of nearby long, soft gamma-ray burst GRB 100316D, and the subsequent unveiling of its low redshift host galaxy and associated supernova. We derive the…
UVES/VLT high resolution absorption spectroscopy of the GRB080330 afterglow: a study of the GRB host galaxy and intervening absorbers
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, R. Perna +13
We study the Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) environment and intervening absorbers by analyzing the optical absorption features produced by gas surrounding the GRB or along its line of sight…
