Cosmology with XMM galaxy clusters: the X-CLASS/GROND catalogue and photometric redshifts
J. Ridl, N. Clerc, T. Sadibekova +11
The XMM Cluster Archive Super Survey (X-CLASS) is a serendipitously-detected X-ray-selected sample of 845 galaxy clusters based on 2774 XMM archival observations and covering appro…
The Redshift Distribution of the TOUGH Survey
P. Jakobsson, R. Chapman, J. Hjorth +5
We present the redshift results from a Very Large Telescope program aimed at optimizing the legacy value of the Swift mission: to characterize a homogeneous, X-ray selected, sample…
The metallicity and dust content of a redshift 5 gamma-ray burst host galaxy
M. Sparre, O. E. Hartoog, T. Krühler +26
Observations of the afterglows of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) allow the study of star-forming galaxies across most of cosmic history. Here we present observations of GRB 111008A f…
Spectroscopy of the short-hard GRB 130603B: The host galaxy and environment of a compact object merger
A. de Ugarte Postigo, C. C. Thoene, A. Rowlinson +40
Short duration gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) are thought to be related to the violent merger of compact objects, such as neutron stars or black holes, which makes them promising sources…
VLT/X-Shooter Near-Infrared Spectroscopy and HST Imaging of Gravitationally-Lensed z~2 Compact Quiescent Galaxies
Stefan Geier, Johan Richard, Allison Man +4
Quiescent massive galaxies at z~2 are thought to be the progenitors of present-day massive ellipticals. Observations revealed them to be extraordinarily compact. The determination…
Clustering of galaxies around GRB sight-lines
Vladimir Sudilovsky, Jochen Greiner, Arne Rau +11
There is evidence of an overdensity of strong intervening MgII absorption line systems distributed along the lines of sight towards GRB afterglows relative to quasar sight-lines. I…
