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…
Spectroscopy of the short-hard GRB 130603B: The host galaxy and environment of a compact object merger
A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thoene, A. Rowlinson +40
Short duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to be related to the violent merger of compact objects, such as neutron stars or black holes, which makes them promising sources…
Discovery of the broad-lined Type Ic SN 2013cq associated with the very energetic GRB 130427A
D. Xu, A. de Ugarte Postigo, G. Leloudas +25
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) at z < 1 are in most cases found to be accompanied by bright, broad-lined Type Ic supernovae (SNe Ic-BL). The highest-energy GRBs are mostly l…
The optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26
T. Muñoz-Darias, A. de Ugarte Postigo, D. M. Russell +13
We present a 30-day monitoring campaign of the optical counterpart of the bright X-ray transient Swift J1745-26, starting only 19 minutes after the discovery of the source. We obse…
A new population of ultra-long duration gamma-ray bursts
A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir, R. L. C. Starling +38
We present comprehensive multiwavelength observations of three gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) with durations of several thousand seconds. We demonstrate that these events are extragalacti…
