Polarimetry of the transient relativistic jet of GRB 110328 / Swift J164449.3+573451
K. Wiersema, A. J. van der Horst, A. J. Levan +9
We present deep infrared (Ks band) imaging polarimetry and radio (1.4 and 4.8 GHz) polarimetry of the enigmatic transient Swift J164449.3+573451. This source appears to be a short…
The Highly Energetic Expansion of SN2010bh Associated with GRB 100316D
Filomena Bufano, Elena Pian, Jesper Sollerman +50
We present the spectroscopic and photometric evolution of the nearby (z = 0.059) spectroscopically confirmed type Ic supernova, SN 2010bh, associated with the soft, long-duration g…
Short gamma-ray bursts: evidence for an origin in globular clusters?
Ross P. Church, Andrew J. Levan, Melvyn B. Davies +1
We compare the observed spatial offsets of short gamma-ray bursts from their host galaxies with their predicted distributions, assuming that they originate in double neutron star b…
The dark GRB080207 in an extremely red host and the implications for GRBs in highly obscured environments
K. M. Svensson, N. R. Tanvir, D. A. Perley +8
[Abridged] We present comprehensive X-ray, optical, near- and mid-infrared, and sub-mm observations of GRB 080207 and its host galaxy. The afterglow was undetected in the optical a…
Testing the gravitational lensing explanation for the MgII problem in GRBs
Sharon Rapoport, Christopher A. Onken, Brian P. Schmidt +3
Sixty percent of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) reveal strong MgII absorbing systems, which is a factor of ~2 times the rate seen along lines-of-sight to quasars. The discrepancy in the c…
Pre-ALMA observations of GRBs in the mm/submm range
A. de Ugarte Postigo, A. Lundgren, S. Martín +24
GRBs generate an afterglow emission that can be detected from radio to X-rays during days, or even weeks after the initial explosion. The peak of this emission crosses the mm/submm…
