Late time observations of GRB080319B: jet break, host galaxy and accompanying supernova
Nial R. Tanvir, Evert Rol, Andrew Levan +15
The Swift discovered GRB080319B was by far the most distant source ever observed at naked eye brightness, reaching a peak apparent magnitude of 5.3 at a redshift of z=0.937. We pre…
Discovery of an Unusual Optical Transient with the Hubble Space Telescope
K. Barbary, K. S. Dawson, K. Tokita +27
We present observations of SCP 06F6, an unusual optical transient discovered during the Hubble Space Telescope Cluster Supernova Survey. The transient brightened over a period of ~…
Photometry and spectroscopy of GRB 060526: A detailed study of the afterglow and host galaxy of a z=3.2 gamma-ray burst
C. C. Thöne, D. A. Kann, G. Jóhannesson +58
Aims: With this paper we want to investigate the highly variable afterglow light curve and environment of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 060526 at . Methods: We present one of the…
GRB 080319B: A Naked-Eye Stellar Blast from the Distant Universe
J. L. Racusin, S. V. Karpov, M. Sokolowski +81
Long duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) release copious amounts of energy across the entire electromagnetic spectrum, and so provide a window into the process of black hole formation…
The Rapidly Flaring Afterglow of the Very Bright and Energetic GRB 070125
Adria C. Updike, Joshua B. Haislip, Melissa C. Nysewander +52
We report on multi-wavelength observations, ranging from the X-ray to radio wave bands, of the IPN-localized gamma-ray burst GRB 070125. Spectroscopic observations reveal the prese…
Multiwavelength analysis of the intriguing GRB 061126: the reverse shock scenario and magnetization
A. Gomboc, S. Kobayashi, C. Guidorzi +30
We present a detailed study of the prompt and afterglow emission from Swift GRB 061126 using BAT, XRT, UVOT data and multi-color optical imaging from ten ground-based telescopes. G…
