Modeling The GRB Host Galaxy Mass Distribution: Are GRBs Unbiased Tracers of Star Formation?
Daniel Kocevski, Andrew A. West, Maryam Modjaz
We model the mass distribution of long gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies given recent results suggesting that GRBs occur in low metallicity environments. By utilizing measurement…
The Host Galaxies of Swift Dark Gamma-Ray Bursts: Observational Constraints on Highly Obscured and Very High-Redshift GRBs
D. A. Perley, S. B. Cenko, J. S. Bloom +13
In this work we present the first results of our imaging campaign at Keck Observatory to identify the host galaxies of "dark" gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), events with no detected optic…
Fermi Large Area Telescope Bright Gamma-ray Source List
A. A. Abdo
Following its launch in June 2008, the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (Fermi) began a sky survey in August. The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on Fermi in 3 months produced a deeper a…
From Shock Breakout to Peak and Beyond: Extensive Panchromatic Observations of the Type Ib Supernova 2008D associated with Swift X-ray Transient 080109
Maryam Modjaz, W. Li, N. Butler +38
We present extensive early photometric (ultraviolet through near-infrared) and spectroscopic (optical and near-infrared) data on supernova (SN) 2008D as well as X-ray data analysis…
Observations of the Naked-Eye GRB 080319B: Implications of Nature's Brightest Explosion
J. S. Bloom, D. A. Perley, W. Li +18
The first gamma-ray burst (GRB) confirmed to be bright enough to be seen with the naked eye, GRB 080319B at redshift z = 0.937, allowed for exquisite follow-up observations across…
Generalized Tests for Selection Effects in GRB High-Energy Correlations
Nathaniel R. Butler, Daniel Kocevski, Joshua S. Bloom
Several correlations among parameters derived from modelling the high-energy properties of GRBs have been reported. We show that well-known examples of these have common features i…
