GRB 050911: a black hole - neutron star merger or a naked GRB
K. L. Page, A. R. King, A. J. Levan +16
GRB 050911, discovered by the Swift Burst Alert Telescope, was not seen 4.6 hr later by the Swift X-ray Telescope, making it one of the very few X-ray non-detections of a Gamma-Ray…
A mean redshift of 2.8 for Swift gamma-ray bursts
P. Jakobsson, A. Levan, J. P. U. Fynbo +18
The exceptionally high luminosities of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), gradually emerging as extremely useful probes of star formation, make them promising tools for exploration of the hi…
Swift observations of the X-ray bright GRB 050315
S. Vaughan, M. R. Goad, A. P. Beardmore +30
This paper discusses Swift observations of the gamma-ray burst GRB 050315 (z=1.949) from 80 s to 10 days after the onset of the burst. The X-ray light curve displayed a steep early…
A log N(HI) = 22.6 DLA in a dark gamma-ray burst: the environment of GRB 050401
D. Watson, J. P. U. Fynbo, C. Ledoux +33
The optical afterglow spectrum of GRB050401 (at z=2.8992+/-0.0004) shows the presence of a DLA, with log(nHI)=22.6+/-0.3. This is the highest column density ever observed in a DLA,…
Discovery and identification of the very high redshift afterglow of GRB 050904
J. Haislip, M. Nysewander, D. Reichart +39
In 2000, Lamb and Reichart predicted that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows occur in sufficient numbers and at sufficient brightnesses at very high redshifts (z > 5) to…
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…
