A near-IR spectroscopic search for very-low-mass cool companions to notable DA white dwarfs
P. D. Dobbie, M. R. Burleigh, A. J. Levan +5
We have undertaken a detailed near-IR spectroscopic analysis of eight notable white dwarfs, predominantly of southern declination. In each case the spectrum failed to reveal compel…
The ultimate outcome of black hole - neutron star mergers
Melvyn B. Davies, Andrew J. Levan, Andrew R. King
We present a simple, semi--analytical description for the final stages of mergers of black hole (BH) -- neutron star (NS) systems. Such systems are of much interest as gravitationa…
Discovery of the Near-IR Afterglow and of the Host of GRB 030528
A. Rau, J. Greiner, S. Klose +24
The rapid dissemination of an arcmin-sized HETE-2 localization of the long-duration X-ray flash GRB 030528 led to a ground-based multi-observatory follow-up campaign. We report the…
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…
On the Afterglow of the X-Ray Flash of July 23 2003: Photometric evidence for an off-axis Gamma-Ray Burst with an associated Supernova?
J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Sollerman, J. Hjorth +31
We present optical and near-infrared follow-up observations of the X-Ray Flash (XRF) of July 23 2003. Our observations in the R-band cover the temporal range from 4.2 h to 64 days…
GRB 020410: A Gamma-Ray Burst Afterglow Discovered by its Supernova Light
A. Levan, P. Nugent, A. Fruchter +19
We present the discovery and monitoring of the optical transient (OT) associated with GRB 020410. The fading OT was found by Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations taken 28 and…
The host of GRB 030323 at z=3.372: a very high column density DLA system with a low metallicity
P. M. Vreeswijk, S. L. Ellison, C. Ledoux +29
We present photometry and spectroscopy of the afterglow of GRB 030323. VLT spectra of the afterglow show damped Lya (DLA) absorption and low- and high-ionization lines at a redshif…
The discovery of an evolving dust scattered X-ray halo around GRB 031203
S. Vaughan, R. Willingale, P. T. O'Brien +9
We report the first detection of a time-dependent, dust-scattered X-ray halo around a gamma-ray burst. GRB 031203 was observed by XMM-Newton starting six hours after the burst. The…
Chandra Observations of the X-ray Environs of SN 1998bw/GRB 980425
C. Kouveliotou, S. E. Woosley, S. K. Patel +8
(Abrigded) We report X-ray studies of the environs of SN 1998bw and GRB 980425 using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory 1281 days after the GRB. Combining our observation of the superno…
A very low luminosity X-ray flash: XMM-Newton observations of GRB 031203
D. Watson, J. Hjorth, A. Levan +9
GRB031203 was observed by XMM-Newton twice, first with an observation beginning 6 hours after the burst, and again after 3 days. The afterglow had average 0.2-10.0keV fluxes for th…
