Unveiling the Origin of GRB 090709A: Lack of Periodicity in a Reddened Cosmological Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst
S. B. Cenko, N. R. Butler, E. O. Ofek +15
We present broadband (gamma-ray, X-ray, near-infrared, optical, and radio) observations of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) 090709A and its afterglow in an effort to ascertain the origin…
Limits on Radioactive-Powered Emission Associated With a Short-Hard GRB 070724A in a Star-Forming Galaxy
Daniel Kocevski, Christina C Thone, Enrico Ramirez-Ruiz +10
We present results of an extensive observing campaign of the short duration, hard spectrum gamma-ray burst (GRB) 070724A, aimed at detecting the radioactively-powered emission that…
Multi-wavelength observations of the energetic GRB 080810: detailed mapping of the broadband spectral evolution
K. L. Page, R. Willingale, E. Bissaldi +31
GRB 080810 was one of the first bursts to trigger both Swift and the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope. It was subsequently monitored over the X-ray and UV/optical bands by Swift, in…
GRB 090426: The Environment of a Rest-Frame 0.35-second Gamma-Ray Burst at Redshift z=2.609
Emily M. Levesque, Joshua S. Bloom, Nathaniel R. Butler +14
We present the discovery of an absorption-line redshift of z = 2.609 for GRB 090426, establishing the first firm lower limit to a redshift for a gamma-ray burst with an observed du…
The Discovery of Vibrationally-Excited H_2 in the Molecular Cloud near GRB 080607
Y. Sheffer, J. X. Prochaska, B. T. Draine +2
GRB 080607 has provided the first strong observational signatures of molecular absorption bands toward any galaxy hosting a gamma-ray burst. Despite the identification of dozens of…
A new analysis of the short-duration, hard-spectrum GRB 051103, a possible extragalactic SGR giant flare
K. Hurley, A. Rowlinson, E. Bellm +34
GRB 051103 is considered to be a candidate soft gamma repeater (SGR) extragalactic giant magnetar flare by virtue of its proximity on the sky to M81/M82, as well as its time histor…
