A photometric redshift of for the \agile GRB 080514B
A. Rossi, A. de Ugarte Postigo, P. Ferrero +26
Aims: The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B is the first burst with detected emission above 30 MeV and an optical afterglow. However, no spectroscopic redshift for this burst is kn…
Detection of GRB 060927 at z = 5.47: Implications for the Use of Gamma-Ray Bursts as Probes of the End of the Dark Ages
A. E. Ruiz-Velasco, H. Swan, E. Troja +54
We report on follow-up observations of the GRB 060927 using the ROTSE-IIIa telescope and a suite of larger aperture ground-based telescopes. An optical afterglow was detected 20 s…
GRB 020813: polarization in the case of a smooth optical decay
J. Gorosabel, E. Rol, S. Covino +35
We present the results of a VLT polarimetric monitoring campaign of the GRB 020813 optical afterglow carried out in three nights, from 0.88 to 4.20 days after the gamma-ray event.…
Ly-alpha emission from GRB host galaxies
J. P. U. Fynbo, P. Moller, B. Thomsen +8
Ly-alpha emission is indicative of on-going star formation in a dust-poor environment. Ly-alpha imaging is therefore a probe of the star formation rate and of the dust-content of G…
Detection of the optical afterglow of GRB 000630: Implications for dark bursts
J. U. Fynbo, B. L. Jensen, J. Gorosabel +25
We present the discovery of the optical transient of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB000630. The optical transient was detected with the Nordic Optical Telescope 21.1 hours af…
Early detection of the optical counterpart to GRB 980329
J. Gorosabel, A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. Pedrosa +6
We report optical observations of the GRB 980329 error box which represent the second earliest detection of the GRB 980329 optical transient. We determine R = 23.7 0.5 mag on…
