Fundamental Properties of GRB-Selected Galaxies: A Swift/VLT Legacy Survey
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, J. P. U. Fynbo +2
We present the motivation, aims and preliminary result from the Swift/VLT legacy survey on gamma-ray burst host galaxies. This survey will produce a homogeneous and well-understood…
An on-going multi-wavelength survey of Ly-alpha emitters at redshifts z = 2 - 8
Kim K. Nilsson, Johan P. U. Fynbo, Palle Moller +1
In the last decade, the technique of finding Ly-alpha emitters through narrow-band imaging has become a promising method of detecting high redshift galaxies. Ly-alpha emitters have…
Three intervening galaxy absorbers towards GRB060418: faint and dusty?
Sara L. Ellison, Paul Vreeswijk, Cedric Ledoux +8
We present an analysis of three strong, intervening Mg II absorption systems (z_abs = 0.603, 0.656, 1.107) towards the optical afterglow of gamma-ray burst (GRB) 060418. From high…
GRB 050814 at z = 5.3 and the Redshift Distribution of Swift GRBs
P. Jakobsson, A. Levan, J. P. U. Fynbo +10
We report optical, near-infrared and X-ray observations of the afterglow of GRB 050814, which was seen to exhibit very red optical colours. By modelling its spectral energy distrib…
