GRB 050408: An Atypical Gamma-Ray Burst as a Probe of an Atypical Galactic Environment
R. J. Foley, D. A. Perley, D. Pooley +14
The bright GRB 050408 was localized by HETE-II near local midnight, enabling an impressive ground-based followup effort as well as space-based followup from Swift. The Swift data f…
The Galaxy Hosts and Large-Scale Environments of Short-Hard Gamma-Ray Bursts
J. X. Prochaska, J. S. Bloom, H. -W. Chen +8
The rapid succession of discovery of short--duration hard--spectrum GRBs has led to unprecedented insights into the energetics of the explosion and nature of the progenitors. Yet s…
Closing in on a Short-Hard Burst Progenitor: Constraints from Early-Time Optical Imaging and Spectroscopy of a Possible Host Galaxy of GRB 050509b
J. S. Bloom, J. X. Prochaska, D. Pooley +25
The localization of the short-duration, hard-spectrum GRB 050509b was a watershed event. Thanks to the nearly immediate relay of the GRB position by Swift, we began imaging the GRB…
