The host galaxy of GRB010222: The strongest damped Lyman-alpha system known
I. Salamanca, L. Kaper, P. M. Vreeswijk +6
Analysis of the absorption lines in the afterglow spectrum of the gamma-ray burst GRB010222 indicates that its host galaxy (at a redshift of z=1.476) is the strongest damped Lyman-…
Strategies for prompt searches for GRB afterglows: the discovery of the GRB 001011 optical/near-infrared counterpart using colour-colour selection
J. Gorosabel, J. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +25
We report the discovery of the optical and near-infrared counterparts to GRB 001011. The GRB 001011 error box determined by Beppo-SAX was simultaneously imaged in the near-infrared…
The bright optical afterglow of the long GRB 001007
J. M. Castro Cerón, A. J. Castro-Tirado, J. Gorosabel +35
We present optical follow up observations of the long GRB 001007 between 6.14 hours and ~468 days after the event. An unusually bright optical afterglow (OA) was seen to decline fo…
The extraordinarily bright optical afterglow of GRB 991208 and its host galaxy
A. J. Castro-Tirado, V. V. Sokolov, J. Gorosabel +50
Observations of the extraordinarily bright optical afterglow (OA) of GRB 991208 started 2.1 d after the event. The flux decay constant of the OA in the R-band is -2.30 +/- 0.07 up…
