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…
A very luminous magnetar-powered supernova associated with an ultra-long gamma-ray burst
Jochen Greiner, Paolo A. Mazzali, D. Alexander Kann +29
A new class of ultra-long duration (>10,000 s) gamma-ray bursts has recently been suggested. They may originate in the explosion of stars with much larger radii than normal long ga…
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,…
LSQ14bdq: A Type Ic super-luminous supernova with a double-peaked light curve
M. Nicholl, S. J. Smartt, A. Jerkstrand +28
We present data for LSQ14bdq, a hydrogen-poor super-luminous supernova (SLSN) discovered by the La Silla QUEST survey and classified by the Public ESO Spectroscopic Survey of Trans…
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…
Spectrophotometric analysis of GRB afterglow extinction curves with X-shooter
J. Japelj, S. Covino, A. Gomboc +21
In this work we use gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow spectra observed with the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph to measure rest-frame extinction in GRB lines-of-sight by modeling the broa…
Microphysics and dynamics of the Gamma-Ray Burst 121024A
K. Varela, H. van Eerten, J. Greiner +28
Aims. The aim of the study is to constrain the physics of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) by analysing the multi-wavelength afterglow data set of GRB 121024A that covers the full range fro…
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…
