The Gamow Explorer: A gamma-ray burst observatory to study the high redshift universe and enable multi-messenger astrophysics
N. E. White, F. E. Bauer, W. Baumgartner +63
The Gamow Explorer will use Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) to: 1) probe the high redshift universe (z > 6) when the first stars were born, galaxies formed and Hydrogen was reionized; and…
The X-shooter GRB afterglow legacy sample (XS-GRB)
J. Selsing, D. Malesani, P. Goldoni +53
In this work we present spectra of all -ray burst (GRB) afterglows that have been promptly observed with the X-shooter spectrograph until 31-03-2017. In total, we obtained spect…
A gravitational-wave standard siren measurement of the Hubble constant
B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott, T. D. Abbott +1308
The detection of GW170817 in both gravitational waves and electromagnetic waves heralds the age of gravitational-wave multi-messenger astronomy. On 17 August 2017 the Advanced LIGO…
GRB091127/SN2009nz and the VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of its host galaxy: probing the faint end of the mass-metallicity relation
S. D. Vergani, H. Flores, S. Covino +36
We perform a detailed study of the gamma-ray burst GRB091127/SN2009nz host galaxy at z=0.490 using the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph in slit and integral-field unit (IFU). From the an…
Discovery of a gamma-ray burst with an associated supernova
Rhaana L. C. Starling, Klaas Wiersema, Andrew Levan
We report the discovery of the nearby long, soft GRB 100316D, and the subsequent unveiling of its host galaxy and associated supernova. We study the extremely unusual prompt emissi…
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…
