The First Positive Detection of Molecular Gas in a GRB Host Galaxy
J. X. Prochaska, Y. Sheffer, D. A. Perley +9
We report on strong H2 and CO absorption from gas within the host galaxy of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 080607. Analysis of our Keck/LRIS afterglow spectrum reveals a very large HI colum…
Probing the IGM/Galaxy Connection Toward PKS0405-123 III: The Galaxy Survey and Correlations with OVI Absorbers
Jason X. Prochaska, Benjamin J. Weiner, Hsiao-Wen Chen +1
We present a galaxy survey of the field surrounding PKS0405-123 performed with the WFCCD spectrometer at Las Campanas Observatory. The survey is comprised of two datasets: (1) a gr…
The Propagation and Eruption of Relativistic Jets from the Stellar Progenitors of GRBs
Weiqun Zhang, S. E. Woosley, A. Heger
New two- and three-dimensional calculations are presented of relativistic jet propagation and break out in massive Wolf-Rayet stars. Such jets are thought responsible for gamma-ray…
