Probing the complex environments of GRB host galaxies and intervening systems: high resolution spectroscopy of GRB050922C
S. Piranomonte, P. A. Ward, F. Fiore +20
The aim of this paper is to investigate the environment of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) and the interstellar matter of their host galaxies. We use to this purpose high resolution spectr…

Jet breaks at the end of the slow decline phase of Swift GRB lightcurves
M. De Pasquale, P. Evans, S. Oates +9
The Swift mission has discovered an intriguing feature of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRBs) afterglows, a phase of shallow decline of the flux in the X-ray and optical lightcurves. This behav…

The prompt, high resolution spectroscopic view of the "naked-eye" GRB080319B
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, R. Perna +21
GRB080319B reached 5th optical magnitude during the burst prompt emission. Thanks to the VLT/UVES rapid response mode, we observed its afterglow just 8m:30s after the GRB onset whe…
