The evolution of neutral gas in damped Lyman systems from the XQ-100 survey
R. Sánchez-Ramírez, S. L. Ellison, J. X. Prochaska +10
We present a sample of 38 intervening Damped Lyman (DLA) systems identified towards 100 quasars, observed during the XQ-100 survey. The XQ-100 DLA sample is combined wi…
J-PAS: The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated Universe Astrophysical Survey
N. Benitez, R. Dupke, M. Moles +149
The Javalambre-Physics of the Accelerated Universe Astrophysical Survey (J-PAS) is a narrow band, very wide field Cosmological Survey to be carried out from the Javalambre Observat…
The obscured hyper-energetic GRB 120624B hosted by a luminous compact galaxy at z = 2.20
A. de Ugarte Postigo, S. Campana, C. C. Thoene +11
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous explosions that we can witness in the Universe. Studying the most extreme cases of these phenomena allows us to constrain the limits for the…
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…
Helium in natal HII regions: the origin of the X-ray absorption in gamma-ray burst afterglows
Darach Watson, Tayyaba Zafar, Anja C. Andersen +8
Soft X-ray absorption in excess of Galactic is observed in the afterglows of most gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), but the correct solution to its origin has not been arrived at after more…
The distribution of equivalent widths in long GRB afterglow spectra
A. de Ugarte Postigo, J. P. U. Fynbo, C. C. Thoene +11
The extreme brightness of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows and their simple spectral shape make them ideal beacons to study the interstellar medium of their host galaxies through a…
