Are the missing X-ray breaks in Gamma-ray Burst afterglow light curves merely hidden?
P. A. Curran, A. J. van der Horst, R. A. M. J. Wijers
Gamma-ray burst afterglow observations in the Swift era have a perceived lack of achromatic jet breaks compared to the BeppoSAX, or pre-Swift era. Specifically, relatively few brea…
The host of GRB 060206: kinematics of a distant galaxy
Christina C. Thoene, Klaas Wiersema, Cedric Ledoux +13
We present early (starting 1.6h after the burst) WHT/ISIS optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 060206 detecting a range of metal absorption lines and th…
GRB 060206 and the quandary of achromatic breaks in afterglow light curves
P. A. Curran, A. J. van der Horst, R. A. M. J. Wijers +20
Gamma-ray burst afterglow observations in the Swift era have a perceived lack of achromatic jet breaks compared to the BeppoSAX era. We present our multi-wavelength analysis of GRB…
Spectroscopy and multiband photometry of the afterglow of intermediate duration gamma-ray burst 040924 and its host galaxy
K. Wiersema, A. J. van der Horst, D. A. Kann +19
We present optical photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow and host galaxy of gamma-ray burst 040924. This GRB had a rather short duration of T90 ~2.4s, and a well sampled opt…
Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglows as Probes of Environment and Blastwave Physics II: the Distribution of p and Structure of the Circumburst Medium
R. L. C. Starling, A. J. van der Horst, E. Rol +5
We constrain blastwave parameters and the circumburst media of a subsample of ten BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Bursts. For this sample we derive the values of the injected electron energy di…
The prompt to late-time multiwavelength analysis of GRB 060210
P. A. Curran, A. J. van der Horst, A. P. Beardmore +19
We present our analysis of the multiwavelength photometric & spectroscopic observations of GRB 060210 and discuss the results in the overall context of current GRB models. All avai…
