The environment of the SN-less GRB 111005A at z = 0.0133
M. Tanga, T. Krühler, P. Schady +5
The collapsar model has proved highly successful in explaining the properties of long gamma-ray bursts (GRBs), with the most direct confirmation being the detection of a supernova…
MUSE Reveals a Recent Merger in the Post-starburst Host Galaxy of the TDE ASASSN-14li
J. L. Prieto, T. Krühler, J. P. Anderson +13
We present MUSE integral field spectroscopic observations of the host galaxy (PGC 043234) of one of the closest (, Mpc) and best-studied tidal disruption eve…
Discovery of a Perseus-like cloud in the early Universe: HI-to-H2 transition, carbon monoxide and small dust grains at zabs=2.53 towards the quasar J0000+0048
P. Noterdaeme, J. -K. Krogager, S. Balashev +10
We present the discovery of a molecular cloud at zabs=2.5255 along the line of sight to the quasar J0000+0048. We perform a detailed analysis of the absorption lines from ionic, ne…
Evolution of the dust-to-metals ratio in high-redshift galaxies probed by GRB-DLAs
P. Wiseman, P. Schady, J. Bolmer +4
Context. Several issues regarding the nature of dust at high redshift remain unresolved: its composition, its production and growth mechanisms, and its effect on background sources…
Probing dust-obscured star formation in the most massive Gamma-Ray Burst host galaxies
Jochen Greiner, Michal J. Michalowski, Sylvio Klose +15
Due to their relation to massive stars, long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) allow pinpointing star formation in galaxies independently of redshift, dust obscuration, or galaxy ma…
Superluminous supernova progenitors have a half-solar metallicity threshold
T. -W. Chen, S. J. Smartt, R. M. Yates +5
Host galaxy properties provide strong constraints on the stellar progenitors of superluminous supernovae. By comparing a sample of 19 low-redshift (z < 0.3) superluminous supernova…
Characterising the environments of supernovae with MUSE
L. Galbany, J. P. Anderson, F. F Rosales-Ortega +10
We present a statistical analysis of the environments of 11 supernovae (SNe) which occurred in 6 nearby galaxies (z 0.016). All galaxies were observed with MUSE, the hig…
Super-solar metallicity at the position of the ultra-long GRB130925A
P. Schady, T. Kruehler, J. Greiner +17
Over the last decade there has been immense progress in the follow-up of short and long GRBs, resulting in a significant rise in the detection rate of X-ray and optical afterglows,…
GRB hosts through cosmic time - VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 GRB-selected galaxies at 0.1 < z < 3.6
T. Krühler, D. Malesani, J. P. U. Fynbo +41
[Abridged] We present data and initial results from VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 GRB-selected galaxies at 0.1<z<3.6, the largest sample of GRB host spectroscopy a…
The Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxy Legacy Survey - I. Sample Selection and Redshift Distribution
D. A. Perley, T. Krühler, S. Schulze +20
We introduce the Swift Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxy Legacy Survey ("SHOALS"), a multi-observatory high-redshift galaxy survey targeting the largest unbiased sample of long-duration…
The Swift GRB Host Galaxy Legacy Survey - II. Rest-Frame NIR Luminosity Distribution and Evidence for a Near-Solar Metallicity Threshold
D. A. Perley, N. R. Tanvir, J. Hjorth +9
We present rest-frame NIR luminosities and stellar masses for a large and uniformly-selected population of GRB host galaxies using deep Spitzer Space Telescope imaging of 119 targe…
The Optically Unbiased Gamma-Ray Burst Host (TOUGH) Survey. VII. The Host Galaxy Luminosity Function: Probing the Relationship Between GRBs and Star Formation to Redshift
S. Schulze, R. Chapman, J. Hjorth +12
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer a route to characterizing star-forming galaxies and quantifying high- star formation that is distinct from the approach of traditional galaxy surve…
The mysterious optical afterglow spectrum of GRB140506A at z=0.889
J. P. U. Fynbo, T. Krühler, K. Leighly +40
Context. Gamma-ray burst (GRBs) afterglows probe sightlines to star-forming regions in distant star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of the peculiar afterglow spectrum of…
Spectroscopy of superluminous supernova host galaxies. A preference of hydrogen-poor events for extreme emission line galaxies
G. Leloudas, S. Schulze, T. Kruehler +16
Superluminous supernovae (SLSNe) are very bright explosions that were only discovered recently and that show a preference for occurring in faint dwarf galaxies. Understanding why s…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the afterglow of the Swift GRB 130606A: Chemical abundances and reionisation at
O. E. Hartoog, D. Malesani, J. P. U. Fynbo +28
The reionisation of the Universe is thought to have ended around z~6, as inferred from spectroscopy of distant bright background sources, such as quasars (QSO) and gamma-ray burst…
