Simultaneous optical/gamma-ray observations of GRB 121217's prompt emission
J. Elliott, H. -F. Yu, S. Schmidl +20
Since the advent of the Swift satellite it has been possible to obtain precise localisations of GRB positions of sub-arcsec accuracy within seconds, facilitating ground-based robot…
Prompt emission of GRB 121217A from gamma-rays to the NIR
J. Elliott, H. -F. Yu, S. Schmidl +20
The mechanism that causes the prompt-emission episode of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) is still widely debated despite there being thousands of prompt detections. The favoured internal s…
Afterglow rebrightenings as a signature of a long-lasting central engine activity? The emblematic case of GRB 100814A
M. Nardini, J. Elliott, R. Filgas +12
In the past few years the number of well-sampled optical to NIR light curves of long Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) has greatly increased particularly due to simultaneous multi-band image…
New constraints on GRB jet geometry and relativistic shock physics
C. Guidorzi, C. G. Mundell, R. Harrison +23
We use high--quality, multi-band observations of Swift GRB120404A, from gamma-ray to radio frequencies, together with the new hydrodynamics code of van Eerten et al. (2012) to test…
NuSTAR detection of the blazar B2 1023+25 at redshift 5.3
T. Sbarrato, G. Tagliaferri, G. Ghisellini +19
B2 1023+25 is an extremely radio-loud quasar at z=5.3 which was first identified as a likely high-redshift blazar candidate in the SDSS+FIRST quasar catalog. Here we use the Nuclea…
The low-extinction afterglow in the solar-metallicity host galaxy of GRB 110918A
J. Elliott, T. Krühler, J. Greiner +21
Galaxies selected through long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) could be of fundamental importance when mapping the star formation history out to the highest redshifts. Before using them as…
