Modeling GRB 050904: Autopsy of a Massive Stellar Explosion at z=6.29
L. J. Gou, D. B. Fox, P. Meszaros
GRB 050904 at redshift z=6.29, discovered and observed by Swift and with spectroscopic redshift from the Subaru telescope, is the first gamma-ray burst to be identified from beyond…
Preliminary Results from the Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP)
Avishay Gal-Yam, S. B. Cenko, D. B. Fox +4
We present preliminary results from the Caltech Core-Collapse Project (CCCP), a large observational program focused on the study of core-collapse SNe. Uniform, high-quality NIR and…
A New Population of High Redshift Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, D. B. Fox, P. A. Price +23
The redshift distribution of the short-duration GRBs is a crucial, but currently fragmentary, clue to the nature of their progenitors. Here we present optical observations of nine…
GRB Fireball Physics: Prompt and Early Emission
D. B. Fox, P. Meszaros
We review the fireball shock model of gamma-ray burst prompt and early afterglow emission in light of rapid follow-up measurements made and enabled by the multi-wavelength Swift sa…
The short-hard GRB 051103: Observations and implications for its nature
E. O. Ofek, S. R. Kulkarni, E. Nakar +6
The bright short-hard GRB 051103 was triangulated by the inter-planetary network and found to occur in the direction of the nearby M81/M82 galaxy group. Given its possible local-Un…
The ERO Host Galaxy of GRB 020127: Implications for the Metallicity of GRB Progenitors
E. Berger, D. B. Fox, S. R. Kulkarni +2
We present optical and near-IR observations of the host galaxy of GRB 020127, for which we measure R-K=6.2 mag. This is only the second GRB host to date, which is classified as an…
