The soft X-ray blast in the apparently sub-luminous GRB 031203
D. Watson, S. A. Vaughan, R. Willingale +11
GRB031203 was a very low apparent luminosity gamma-ray burst (GRB). It was also the first GRB with a dust-scattered X-ray halo. The observation of the halo allowed us to infer the…
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…
Outshining the quasars at reionisation: The X-ray spectrum and lightcurve of the redshift 6.29 Gamma-Ray Burst GRB050904
D. Watson, J. N. Reeves, J. Hjorth +7
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) 050904 is the most distant X-ray source known, at z=6.295, comparable to the farthest AGN and galaxies. Its X-ray flux decays, but not as a power-law; it is d…
Massive star-formation rates of gamma-ray burst host galaxies: an unobscured view in X-rays
D. Watson, J. Hjorth, P. Jakobsson +3
The hard X-ray (2-10keV) luminosity of a star-forming galaxy tracks its population of high mass X-ray binaries and is essentially unobscured. It is therefore a practically unbiased…
The line-of-sight towards GRB 030429 at z = 2.66: Probing the matter at stellar, galactic and intergalactic scales
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, J. P. U. Fynbo +21
We report the discovery of the optical afterglow (OA) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030429, and present a comprehensive optical/near-infrared dataset used to probe the m…
Small-scale variations in the radiating surface of the GRB 011211 jet
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, E. Ramirez-Ruiz +12
We report the discovery of the afterglow of the X-ray rich, long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 011211 and present evidence for oscillatory behaviour in its early optical light curve…
