The Redshift Distribution of the TOUGH Survey
P. Jakobsson, R. Chapman, J. Hjorth +5
We present the redshift results from a Very Large Telescope program aimed at optimizing the legacy value of the Swift mission: to characterize a homogeneous, X-ray selected, sample…
The metallicity and dust content of a redshift 5 gamma-ray burst host galaxy
M. Sparre, O. E. Hartoog, T. Krühler +26
Observations of the afterglows of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) allow the study of star-forming galaxies across most of cosmic history. Here we present observations of GRB 111008A f…
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…
Molecular Hydrogen in the Damped Lyman-alpha System towards GRB 120815A at z=2.36
T. Krühler, C. Ledoux, J. P. U. Fynbo +32
We present the discovery of molecular hydrogen (H_2), including the presence of vibrationally-excited H_2^* in the optical spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 120815A at z=2.36 obtain…
A Population of Massive, Luminous Galaxies Hosting Heavily Dust-Obscured Gamma-Ray Bursts: Implications for the Use of GRBs as Tracers of Cosmic Star Formation
D. A. Perley, A. J. Levan, N. R. Tanvir +13
We present observations and analysis of the host galaxies of 23 heavily dust-obscured gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by the Swift satellite during the years 2005-2009, representi…
