Early Optical Polarization of a Gamma Ray Burst Afterglow
Carole G. Mundell, Iain A. Steele, Robert J. Smith +10
We report the optical polarization of a gamma ray burst (GRB) afterglow, obtained 203 seconds after the initial burst of gamma rays from GRB 060418, using a ring polarimeter on the…
The GRB 060218/SN 2006aj event in the context of other Gamma-Ray Burst Supernovae
P. Ferrero, D. A. Kann, A. Zeh +15
The supernova SN 2006aj associated with GRB 060218 is the second-closest GRB-SN observed to date (z=0.033). We present Very Large Telescope, Liverpool Telescope, and Katzman Automa…
High Quality Early Time Light Curves of GRB 060206: Implications for Gamma Ray Burst Environments and Energetics
A. Monfardini, S. Kobayashi, C. Guidorzi +8
The 2-m robotic Liverpool Telescope (LT) reacted promptly to the high-redshift (z=4.048) gamma-ray burst GRB 060206. The afterglow was identified automatically and multicolor r'i'z…
The Automatic Real-Time GRB Pipeline of the 2-m Liverpool Telescope
C. Guidorzi, A. Monfardini, A. Gomboc +9
The 2-m Liverpool Telescope (LT), owned by Liverpool John Moores University, is located in La Palma (Canary Islands) and operates in fully robotic mode. In 2005, the LT began condu…
Gemini imaging of QSO host galaxies at z~2
Scott Croom, David Schade, Brian Boyle +3
We present results of a Gemini adaptive optics (AO) imaging program to investigate the host galaxies of typical QSOs at z~2. Our aim is to study the host galaxies of typical, L*_qs…
Ghosts of the Milky Way: a search for topology in new quasar catalogues
S. J. Weatherley, S. J. Warren, S. M. Croom +5
We revisit the possibility that we inhabit a compact multi-connected flat, or nearly-flat, Universe. Analysis of COBE data has shown that, for such a case, the size of the fundamen…
