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…
The Clustering of MgII Absorption Systems at z=0.5 and Detection of Cold Gas in Massive Halos
Jean-Rene Gauthier, Hsiao-Wen Chen, Jeremy L. Tinker
We measure the large-scale clustering of MgII λλ2796,2803 absorbers with respect to a population of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) at z \sim 0.5. From the cross-correlation measureme…
GRB 071003: Broadband Follow-up Observations of a Very Bright Gamma-Ray Burst in a Galactic Halo
D. A. Perley, W. Li, R. Chornock +26
The optical afterglow of long-duration GRB 071003 is among the brightest yet to be detected from any GRB, with R ~ 12 mag in KAIT observations starting 42 s after the GRB trigger,…
A Putative Early-Type Host Galaxy for GRB 060502B: Implications for the Progenitors of Short-Duration Hard-Spectrum Bursts
J. S. Bloom, D. A. Perley, H. -W. Chen +6
Starting with the first detection of an afterglow from a short-duration hard-spectrum gamma-ray burst (SHB) by Swift last year, a growing body of evidence has suggested that SHBs a…
Hypernova Signatures in the Late Rebrightening of GRB 050525A
M. Della Valle, D. Malesani, J. S. Bloom +22
We report observations of GRB 050525A, for which a Gemini North spectrum shows its redshift to be z = 0.606. This is the third closest long GRB discovered by Swift. We observed its…
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…
