X-ray absorption evolution in Gamma-Ray Bursts: intergalactic medium or evolutionary signature of their host galaxies?
R. L. C. Starling, R. Willingale, N. R. Tanvir +5
The intrinsic X-ray emission of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) is often found to be absorbed over and above the column density through our own galaxy. The extra component is usually assum…
Calibration of X-ray absorption in our Galaxy
R. Willingale, R. L. C. Starling, A. P. Beardmore +2
Prediction of the soft X-ray absorption along lines of sight through our Galaxy is crucial for understanding the spectra of extragalactic sources, but requires a good estimate of t…
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…
