Cold gas in the early Universe. Survey for neutral atomic-carbon in GRB host galaxies at 1 < z < 6 from optical afterglow spectroscopy

K. E. Heintz, C. Ledoux, J. P. U. Fynbo +14

We present a survey for neutral atomic-carbon (CI) along gamma-ray burst (GRB) sightlines, which probes the shielded neutral gas-phase in the interstellar medium (ISM) of GRB host…

Evidence for diffuse molecular gas and dust in the hearts of gamma-ray burst host galaxies

J. Bolmer, C. Ledoux, P. Wiseman +17

Here we built up a sample of 22 GRBs at redshifts observed with X-shooter to determine the abundances of hydrogen, metals, dust, and molecular species. This allows us to st…

Infrared molecular hydrogen lines in GRB host galaxies

K. Wiersema, A. Togi, D. Watson +12

Molecular species, most frequently H_2, are present in a small, but growing, number of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow spectra at redshifts z~2-3, detected through their rest-frame…

X-shooting GRBs at high redshift: probing dust production history

T. Zafar, P. Møller, D. Watson +16

Evolved asymptotic giant branch (AGB) stars and Type Ia supernovae (SNe) are important contributors to the elements that form dust in the interstellar medium of galaxies, in partic…

The 2175 Å extinction feature in the optical afterglow spectrum of GRB 180325A at z=2.25

T. Zafar, K. E. Heintz, J. P. U. Fynbo +26

The UV extinction feature at 2175 Å is ubiquitously observed in the Galaxy but is rarely detected at high redshifts. Here we report the spectroscopic detection of the 2175 Å bump o…

The fraction of ionizing radiation from massive stars that escapes to the intergalactic medium

N. R. Tanvir, J. P. U. Fynbo, A. de Ugarte Postigo +38

The part played by stars in the ionization of the intergalactic medium remains an open question. A key issue is the proportion of the stellar ionizing radiation that escapes the ga…
