REM observations of GRB 060418 and GRB 060607A: the onset of the afterglow and the initial fireball Lorentz factor determination
E. Molinari, S. D. Vergani, D. Malesani +32
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) emission is believed to originate in highly relativistic fireballs. Currently, only lower limits were securely set to the initial fireball Lorentz factor Gamm…
The cosmic X-ray background and the population of the most heavily obscured AGNs
Filippo Frontera, Mauro Orlandini, Raffaella Landi +7
We report on an accurate measurement of the CXB in the 15-50 keV range performed with the Phoswich Detection System (PDS) instrument aboard the BeppoSAX satellite. We establish tha…
SWIFT/XRT follow-up observations of INTEGRAL AGNs
R. Landi, A. Malizia, L. Bassani +9
In five years of operation, data from INTEGRAL has been used to discover a large number of gamma-ray sources, a substantial fraction of which have turned out to be active galactic…
Constraints on an optical afterglow and on supernova light following the short burst GRB 050813
P. Ferrero, S. F. Sanchez, D. A. Kann +18
We report early follow-up observations of the error box of the short burst 050813 using the telescopes at Calar Alto and at Observatorio Sierra Nevada (OSN), followed by deep VLT/F…
Unveiling the nature of INTEGRAL objects through optical spectroscopy. V. Identification and properties of 21 southern hard X-ray sources
N. Masetti, L. Morelli, E. Palazzi +13
Optical spectroscopic identification of the nature of 21 unidentified southern hard X-ray objects is reported here in the framework of our campaign aimed at determining the nature…
Infrared and Optical Observations of GRB 030115 and its Extremely Red Host Galaxy: Implications for Dark Bursts
Andrew Levan, Andrew Fruchter, James Rhoads +24
We present near-infrared (nIR) and optical observations of the afterglow of GRB 030115. Discovered in an infrared search at Kitt Peak 5 hours after the burst trigger, this afterglo…
