NuSTAR detection of the blazar B2 1023+25 at redshift 5.3
T. Sbarrato, G. Tagliaferri, G. Ghisellini +19
B2 1023+25 is an extremely radio-loud quasar at z=5.3 which was first identified as a likely high-redshift blazar candidate in the SDSS+FIRST quasar catalog. Here we use the Nuclea…
The metallicity and dust content of a redshift 5 gamma-ray burst host galaxy
M. Sparre, O. E. Hartoog, T. Krühler +26
Observations of the afterglows of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) allow the study of star-forming galaxies across most of cosmic history. Here we present observations of GRB 111008A f…
Molecular Hydrogen in the Damped Lyman-alpha System towards GRB 120815A at z=2.36
T. Krühler, C. Ledoux, J. P. U. Fynbo +32
We present the discovery of molecular hydrogen (H_2), including the presence of vibrationally-excited H_2^* in the optical spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 120815A at z=2.36 obtain…
Blazar candidates beyond redshift 4 observed with GROND
T. Sbarrato, G. Ghisellini, M. Nardini +4
The search for extremely massive high redshift blazars is essential to put strong constraints on the supermassive black holes formation theories. Up to now, the few blazars known t…
