Are LGRBs biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of LGRBs. I: Stellar mass at z<1
S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra, J. Japelj +20
LGRBs are associated with massive stars and are therefore linked to star formation. The conditions necessary to produce LGRBs can affect the relation between the LGRB rate and star…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the afterglow of the Swift GRB 130606A: Chemical abundances and reionisation at
O. E. Hartoog, D. Malesani, J. P. U. Fynbo +28
The reionisation of the Universe is thought to have ended around z~6, as inferred from spectroscopy of distant bright background sources, such as quasars (QSO) and gamma-ray burst…
The metallicity and dust content of a redshift 5 gamma-ray burst host galaxy
M. Sparre, O. E. Hartoog, T. Krühler +26
Observations of the afterglows of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) allow the study of star-forming galaxies across most of cosmic history. Here we present observations of GRB 111008A f…
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…
Spectroscopic evidence for SN 2010ma associated with GRB 101219B
M. Sparre, J. Sollerman, J. P. U. Fynbo +19
We report on the spectroscopic detection of supernova SN 2010ma associated with the long gamma-ray burst GRB 101219B. We observed the optical counterpart of the GRB on three nights…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the GRB 090926A afterglow
V. D'Elia, J. P. U. Fynbo, S. Covino +21
The aim of this paper is to study the environment and intervening absorbers of the gamma-ray burst GRB 090926A through analysis of optical spectra of its afterglow. We analyze medi…
