The Population of Helium-Merger Progenitors: Observational Predictions
C. L. Fryer, K. Belczynski, E. Berger +3
The helium-merger gamma-ray burst progenitor is produced by the rapid accretion onto a compact remnant (neutron star or black hole) when it undergoes a common envelope inspiral wit…
GRB 100219A with X-shooter - abundances in a galaxy at z = 4.7
C. C. Thoene, J. P. U. Fynbo, P. Goldoni +24
Abundances of galaxies at redshifts z > 4 are difficult to obtain from damped Ly α (DLA) systems in the sightlines of quasars (QSOs) due to the Ly α forest blanketing and the low n…
Identifying the Location in the Host Galaxy of the Short GRB 111117A with the Chandra Sub-arcsecond Position
T. Sakamoto, E. Troja, K. Aoki +31
We present our successful Chandra program designed to identify, with sub-arcsecond accuracy, the X-ray afterglow of the short GRB 111117A, which was discovered by Swift and Fermi.…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the candidate black-hole X-ray binary MAXI J1659-152 in outburst
Ramanpreet Kaur, Lex Kaper, Lucas E. Ellerbroek +15
We present the optical to near-infrared spectrum of MAXI J1659-152, during the onset of its 2010 X-ray outburst. The spectrum was obtained with X-shooter on the ESO - Very Large Te…
