Infrared molecular hydrogen lines in GRB host galaxies
K. Wiersema, A. Togi, D. Watson +12
Molecular species, most frequently H_2, are present in a small, but growing, number of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow spectra at redshifts z~2-3, detected through their rest-frame…
The fraction of ionizing radiation from massive stars that escapes to the intergalactic medium
N. R. Tanvir, J. P. U. Fynbo, A. de Ugarte Postigo +38
The part played by stars in the ionization of the intergalactic medium remains an open question. A key issue is the proportion of the stellar ionizing radiation that escapes the ga…
VLT/X-shooter GRBs: Individual extinction curves of star-forming regions
T. Zafar, D. Watson, P. Møller +14
The extinction profiles in Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) afterglow spectral energy distributions (SEDs) are usually described by the Small Magellanic Cloud (SMC)-type extinction curve. In…
Investigating a population of infrared-bright gamma-ray burst host galaxies
Ashley Chrimes, Elizabeth Stanway, Andrew Levan +3
We identify and explore the properties of an infrared-bright gamma-ray burst (GRB) host population. Candidate hosts are selected by coincidence with sources in WISE, with matching…
A Precise Distance to the Host Galaxy of the Binary Neutron Star Merger GW170817 Using Surface Brightness Fluctuations
Michele Cantiello, J. B. Jensen, J. P. Blakeslee +25
The joint detection of gravitational waves and electromagnetic radiation from the binary neutron star (BNS) merger GW170817 has provided unprecedented insight into a wide range of…
