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…
GRB081028 and its late-time afterglow re-brightening
R. Margutti, F. Genet, J. Granot +19
Swift captured for the first time a smoothly rising X-ray re-brightening of clear non-flaring origin after the steep decay in a long gamma-ray burst (GRB): GRB081028. A rising phas…
GJ 3236: a new bright, very low-mass eclipsing binary system discovered by the MEarth observatory
Jonathan Irwin, David Charbonneau, Zachory K. Berta +14
We report the detection of eclipses in GJ 3236, a bright (I = 11.6) very low mass binary system with an orbital period of 0.77 days. Analysis of light- and radial velocity curves o…
The Collimation and Energetics of the Brightest Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
S. B. Cenko, D. A. Frail, F. A. Harrison +22
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are widely believed to be highly-collimated explosions (opening angle theta ~ 1-10 deg). As a result of this beaming factor, the true energy r…
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…
