Photometry and spectroscopy of GRB 060526: A detailed study of the afterglow and host galaxy of a z=3.2 gamma-ray burst

C. C. Thöne, D. A. Kann, G. Jóhannesson +58

Aims: With this paper we want to investigate the highly variable afterglow light curve and environment of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 060526 at . Methods: We present one of the…

The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-Ray Bursts II.: Type I GRB versus Type II GRB Optical Afterglows

D. A. Kann, S. Klose, B. Zhang +21

We use a large sample of GRB afterglow and prompt-emission data (adding further GRB afterglow observations in this work) to compare the optical afterglows (or the lack thereof) of…

The Afterglows of Swift-era Gamma-Ray Bursts. I. Comparing pre-Swift and Swift era Long/Soft (Type II) GRB Optical Afterglows

D. A. Kann, S. Klose, B. Zhang +73

We have gathered optical photometry data from the literature on a large sample of Swift-era gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows including GRBs up to September 2009, for a total of 76…

Connecting GRBs and galaxies: the probability of chance coincidence

Bethany E. Cobb, Charles D. Bailyn

Studies of GRB host galaxies are crucial to understanding GRBs. However, since they are identified by the superposition in the plane of the sky of a GRB afterglow and a galaxy ther…

IR Monitoring of the Microquasar GRS 1915+105: Detection of Orbital and Superhump Signatures

Ethan T. Neil, Charles D. Bailyn, Bethany E. Cobb

We present the results of seven years of K-band monitoring of the low-mass X-ray binary GRS 1915+105. Positive correlations between the infrared flux and the X-ray flux and X-ray h…

Multi-wavelength afterglow observations of the high redshift GRB 050730

S. B. Pandey, A. J. Castro-Tirado, S. McBreen +22

GRB 050730 is a long duration high-redshift burst (z=3.967) discovered by Swift. The afterglow shows variability and is well monitored over a wide wavelength range. We present comp…
