VLT spectroscopy of GRB 990510 and GRB 990712; probing the faint and bright end of the GRB host galaxy population
P. M. Vreeswijk, A. Fruchter, L. Kaper +15
We present time-resolved optical spectroscopy of the afterglows of the gamma-ray bursts GRB 990510 and GRB 990712. Through the identification of several absorption lines in the fir…
GRB990712: First Indication of Polarization Variability in a Gamma-ray Burst Afterglow
E. Rol, R. A. M. J. Wijers, P. M. Vreeswijk +9
We report the detection of significant polarization in the optical afterglow of GRB990712 on three instances 0.44, 0.70 and 1.45 days after the gamma-ray burst, with (P, theta) bei…
Formation of Millisecond Pulsars with Heavy White Dwarf Companions - Extreme Mass Transfer on Sub-Thermal Timescales
T. M. Tauris, E. P. J. van den Heuvel, G. J. Savonije
We have performed detailed numerical calculations of the non-conservative evolution of close X-ray binary systems with intermediate-mass (2.0-6.0 M_sun) donor stars and a 1.3 M_sun…
