The THESEUS space mission concept: science case, design and expected performances

L. Amati, P. O'Brien, D. Goetz +208

THESEUS is a space mission concept aimed at exploiting Gamma-Ray Bursts for investigating the early Universe and at providing a substantial advancement of multi-messenger and time-…

Star formation in the early universe: beyond the tip of the iceberg

N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, A. S. Fruchter +18

We present late-time Hubble Space Telescope imaging of the fields of six Swift GRBs lying at 5.0<z<9.5. Our data includes very deep observations of the field of the most distant sp…

Prompt optical observations of GRB050319 with the Swift UVOT

K. O. Mason, A. J. Blustin, P. Boyd +18

The UVOT telescope on the Swift observatory has detected optical afterglow emission from GRB 050319. The flux declines with a power law slope of alpha = -0.57 between the start of…

Discovery of the Near-IR Afterglow and of the Host of GRB 030528

A. Rau, J. Greiner, S. Klose +24

The rapid dissemination of an arcmin-sized HETE-2 localization of the long-duration X-ray flash GRB 030528 led to a ground-based multi-observatory follow-up campaign. We report the…

The host of GRB 030323 at z=3.372: a very high column density DLA system with a low metallicity

P. M. Vreeswijk, S. L. Ellison, C. Ledoux +29

We present photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow of GRB 030323. VLT spectra of the afterglow show damped Lya (DLA) absorption and low- and high-ionization lines at a redshif…
