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…

High-Redshift Starbursting Dwarf Galaxies Revealed by GRB Afterglows

Hsiao-Wen Chen, Daniel A. Perley, Lindsey K. Pollack +7

We present a study of 15 long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies at z>2. The GRBs are selected with available early-time afterglow spectra in order to compare interstella…

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…

The Calibration of the Swift/UVOT Optical Observations: A Recipe for Photometry

Weidong Li, Saurabh Jha, Alexei V. Filippenko +4

Swift/UVOT has the capability to provide critical insight into the physics of the early afterglows of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). But without precise calibration of the UVOT to standa…
