HI column densities of z > 2 Swift gamma-ray bursts
P. Jakobsson, J. P. U. Fynbo, C. Ledoux +18
Context: Before the launch of the Swift satellite, the majority of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows for which Ly-alpha was redshifted into the observable spectrum showed eviden…
Probing Cosmic Chemical Evolution with Gamma-Ray Bursts: GRB060206 at z=4.048
J. P. U. Fynbo, R. L. C. Starling, C. Ledoux +25
Aim: We present early optical spectroscopy of the afterglow of the gamma-ray burst GRB 060206 with the aim of determining the metallicity of the GRB absorber and the physical condi…
GRB 050509B: Constraints on short gamma-ray burst models
J. Hjorth, J. Sollerman, J. Gorosabel +19
We have obtained deep optical images with the Very Large Telescope at ESO of the first well-localized short-duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 050509B. From V and R imaging, initiated ~…
On the nature of nearby GRB/SN host galaxies
J. Sollerman, G. Ostlin, J. P. U. Fynbo +3
We present and discuss optical diagnostics of the low redshift (z<0.2) galaxies that are known to have hosted supernovae associated with gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The three galaxies…
Swift Identification of Dark Gamma-Ray Bursts
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, J. P. U. Fynbo +4
We present an optical flux vs. X-ray flux diagram for all known gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) for which an X-ray afterglow has been detected. We propose an operational definition of dark…
The line-of-sight towards GRB 030429 at z = 2.66: Probing the matter at stellar, galactic and intergalactic scales
P. Jakobsson, J. Hjorth, J. P. U. Fynbo +21
We report the discovery of the optical afterglow (OA) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 030429, and present a comprehensive optical/near-infrared dataset used to probe the m…
