The extreme, red afterglow of GRB 060923A: Distance or dust?
N. R. Tanvir, A. J. Levan, E. Rol +16
Gamma-ray bursts are powerful probes of the early universe, but locating and identifying very distant GRBs remains challenging. We report here the discovery of the K-band afterglow…
The host of GRB 060206: kinematics of a distant galaxy
Christina C. Thoene, Klaas Wiersema, Cedric Ledoux +13
We present early (starting 1.6h after the burst) WHT/ISIS optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 060206 detecting a range of metal absorption lines and th…
The circumburst environment of a FRED GRB: study of the prompt emission and X-ray/optical afterglow of GRB 051111
C. Guidorzi, A. Gomboc, S. Kobayashi +14
We report a multi-wavelength analysis of the prompt emission and early afterglow of GRB051111 and discuss its properties in the context of current fireball models. The detection of…
The early and late-time spectral and temporal evolution of GRB 050716
E. Rol, J. P. Osborne, K. L. Page +13
We report on a comprehensive set of observations of Gamma Ray Burst 050716, detected by the Swift satellite and subsequently followed-up rapidly in X-ray, optical and near infra-re…
The Remarkable Afterglow of GRB 061007: Implications for Optical Flashes and GRB Fireballs
C. G. Mundell, A. Melandri, C. Guidorzi +18
We present a multiwavelength analysis of Swift GRB 061007. The 2-m robotic Faulkes Telescope South (FTS) began observing 137 s after the onset of the gamma-ray emission, when the o…
