Super-solar Metal Abundances in Two Galaxies at z ~ 3.57 revealed by the GRB 090323 Afterglow Spectrum
S. Savaglio, A. Rau, J. Greiner +12
We report on the surprisingly high metallicity measured in two absorption systems at high redshift, detected in the Very Large Telescope spectrum of the afterglow of the gamma-ray…
The Dust Extinction Curves of Gamma-Ray Burst Host Galaxies
P. Schady, T. Dwelly, M. J. Page +8
The composition and amount of interstellar dust within gamma-ray burst (GRB) host galaxies is of key importance when addressing selection effects in the GRB redshift distribution,…
A Photometric Redshift of z ~ 9.4 for GRB 090429B
A. Cucchiara, A. J. Levan, D. B. Fox +33
Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) serve as powerful probes of the early Universe, with their luminous afterglows revealing the locations and physical properties of star forming galaxies at t…
On the nature of the extremely fast optical rebrightening of the afterglow of GRB 081029
M. Nardini, J. Greiner, T. Kruehler +14
Context. After the launch of the Swift satellite, the Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) optical light-curve smoothness paradigm has been questioned thanks to the faster and better sampled opti…
GRB 071028B, a burst behind large amounts of dust in an unabsorbed galaxy
C. Clemens, J. Greiner, T. Krühler +12
We report on the discovery and properties of the fading afterglow and underlying host galaxy of GRB 071028B, thereby facilitating a detailed comparison between these two. Observati…
Fermi/GBM observations of the ultra-long GRB 091024: A burst with an optical flash
D. Gruber, T. Krühler, S. Foley +27
In this paper we examine gamma-ray and optical data of GRB 091024, a gamma-ray burst (GRB) with an extremely long duration of T90~1020 s, as observed with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst…
