A Lyman-alpha blob in the GOODS South field: evidence for cold accretion onto a dark matter halo
Kim Nilsson, Johan P. U. Fynbo, Palle Moller +2
We report on the discovery of a z = 3.16 Lyman-alpha emitting blob in the GOODS South field. The blob has a total Ly-alpha luminosity of ~ 10^(43) erg s^(-1) and a diameter larger…
Multi-Wavelength Studies of the Optically Dark Gamma-Ray Burst 001025A
K. Pedersen, K. Hurley, J. Hjorth +18
We identify the fading X-ray afterglow of GRB 001025A from XMM-Newton observations obtained 1.9-2.3 days, 2 years, and 2.5 years after the burst. The non-detection of an optical co…
Tracing large-scale structure at high redshift with Lyman-alpha emitters: the effect of peculiar velocities
P. Monaco, P. Moller, J. Fynbo +3
We investigate the effect of peculiar velocities on the redshift space distribution of z>~2 galaxies, and we focus in particular on Ly-alpha emitters. We generate catalogues of dar…
On the Afterglow and Host Galaxy of GRB021004: A Comprehensive Study with the Hubble Space Telescope
J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Gorosabel, A. Smette +24
(Abridged) We report on HST observations of the late-time afterglow and host galaxy of GRB021004 (z=2.33). Although this GRB is one of the best observed so far, there is substantia…
Ly-alpha and UV emission from high-redshift GRB hosts: To what extent do GRBs trace star formation?
P. Jakobsson, G. Bjornsson, J. P. U. Fynbo +9
We report the result of a search for Ly-alpha emission from the host galaxies of the gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) 030226 (z = 1.986), 021004 (z = 2.335) and 020124 (z = 3.198). We find…
The mass-metallicity relation for high-redshift damped Ly-alpha galaxies
C. Ledoux, P. Petitjean, P. Moller +2
We used our database of ESO VLT-UVES spectra of quasars to build up a sample of 67 Damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) systems with redshifts 1.7<zabs<3.7. For each system, we measured averag…
