GRB 081029: A Gamma-Ray Burst with a Multi-Component Afterglow
Stephen T. Holland, Massimiliano De Pasquale, Jirong Mao +12
We present an analysis of the unusual optical light curve of the gamma-ray burst GRB 081029, a long-soft burst with a redshift of z = 3.8479. We combine X-ray and optical observati…
Panchromatic observations of the textbook GRB 110205A: constraining physical mechanisms of prompt emission and afterglow
W. Zheng, R. F. Shen, T. Sakamoto +56
We present a comprehensive analysis of a bright, long duration (T90 ~ 257 s) GRB 110205A at redshift z= 2.22. The optical prompt emission was detected by Swift/UVOT, ROTSE-IIIb and…
The Dust Extinction Curves of Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxies
P. Schady, T. Dwelly, M. J. Page +8
The composition and amount of interstellar dust within gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies is of key importance when addressing selection effects in the GRB redshift distribution,…
A Swift Look at SN 2011fe: The Earliest Ultraviolet Observations of a Type Ia Supernova
Peter J. Brown, Kyle S. Dawson, Massimiliano de Pasquale +8
We present the earliest ultraviolet (UV) observations of the bright Type Ia supernova SN 2011fe/PTF11kly in the nearby galaxy M101 at a distance of only 6.4 Mpc. It was discovered…
Fermi and Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Population Studies
J. L. Racusin, S. R. Oates, P. Schady +15
The new and extreme population of GRBs detected by Fermi-LAT shows several new features in high energy gamma-rays that are providing interesting and unexpected clues into GRB promp…
ORIGIN: Metal Creation and Evolution from the Cosmic Dawn
J. W. den Herder, L. Piro, T. Ohashi +156
ORIGIN is a proposal for the M3 mission call of ESA aimed at the study of metal creation from the epoch of cosmic dawn. Using high-spectral resolution in the soft X-ray band, ORIGI…
