Design of a CZT Gamma-Camera for GRB and Fast Transient Follow-up: a Wide-Field-Monitor for the EDGE Mission
L. Natalucci, M. Feroci, E. Quadrini +14
The success of the SWIFT/BAT and INTEGRAL missions has definitely opened a new window for follow-up and deep study of the transient gamma-ray sky. This now appears as the access ke…
UVES/VLT high resolution spectroscopy of GRB 050730 afterglow: probing the features of the GRB environment
V. D'Elia, F. Fiore, E. Meurs +44
We analyze high resolution spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of GRB050730, obtained with UVES@VLT about hours after the GRB trigger. The spectrum shows that the I…
GRB 050904 at redshift 6.3: observations of the oldest cosmic explosion after the Big Bang
G. Tagliaferri, L. A. Antonelli, G. Chincarini +10
We present optical and near-infrared observations of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 050904. We derive a photometric redshift z = 6.3, estimated from the presence of the L…
Open issues in gamma-ray bursts: polarimetry and dark GRBs
D. Malesani, S. Covino, E. M. Rossi +4
We review some open problems in the physics of afterglows, namely their polarization properties and the existence of dark/faint bursts. Polarization studies yield precious insights…
The puzzling case of GRB 990123: multiwavelength afterglow study
E. Maiorano, N. Masetti, E. Palazzi +18
We report on the BeppoSAX data analysis of the afterglow of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) 990123, one of the brightest GRBs detected by BeppoSAX. Mainly due to its exceptional brightness,…
The prompt emission of GRB990712 with BeppoSAX: evidence of a transient X-ray emission feature
F. Frontera, L. Amati, M. Vietri +11
We report on the prompt X- and gamma-ray observations of GRB990712 with the BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor and Wide Field Camera No. 2. Due to Sun constraints, we could not perfo…
