GRB 080913 at redshift 6.7
J. Greiner, T. Kruehler, J. P. U. Fynbo +44
We report on the detection by Swift of GRB 080913, and subsequent optical/near-infrared follow-up observations by GROND which led to the discovery of its optical/NIR afterglow and…
Simultaneous polarization monitoring of supernovae SN2008D/XT080109 and SN2007uy: isolating geometry from dust
J. Gorosabel, A. de Ugarte Postigo, A. J. Castro-Tirado +16
The possible existence of a continuum encompassing the diversity of explosive stellar deaths,ranging from ordinary SNe to relativistic hypernovae associated with long duration GRBs…
Optical and infrared flares from a transient Galactic soft gamma-ray repeater
A. J. Castro-Tirado, A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. Gorosabel +33
Soft gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are a rare type of gamma-ray transient sources that are ocasionally detected as bursts in the high-energy sky. They are thought to be produced by ma…
On Dust Extinction of Gamma-ray Burst Host Galaxies
Aigen Li, S. L. Liang, D. A. Kann +3
Although it is well recognized that gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are obscured and reddened by dust in their host galaxies, the wavelength-dependence and quantity of dust extinc…
Can optical afterglows be used to discriminate between Type I and Type II GRBs?
D. A. Kann
The precise localization of short/hard (Type I) gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) in recent years has answered many questions but raised even more. I present some results of a systematic stu…
Photometry and spectroscopy of GRB 060526: A detailed study of the afterglow and host galaxy of a z=3.2 gamma-ray burst
C. C. Thöne, D. A. Kann, G. Jóhannesson +58
Aims: With this paper we want to investigate the highly variable afterglow light curve and environment of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 060526 at . Methods: We present one of the…
