GRB 091029: At the limit of the fireball scenario

R. Filgas, J. Greiner, P. Schady +20

Using high-quality, broad-band afterglow data for GRB 091029, we test the validity of the forward-shock model for gamma-ray burst afterglows. We used multi-wavelength (NIR to X-ray…

PKS 2123-463: a confirmed gamma-ray blazar at high redshift

F. D'Ammando, A. Rau, P. Schady +11

The flat spectrum radio quasar (FSRQ) PKS 2123-463 was associated in the First Fermi-LAT source catalog with the gamma-ray source 1FGL J2126.1-4603, but when considering the full f…

A correlation between intrinsic brightness and average decay rate of Swift UVOT GRB optical/UV light curves

S. R. Oates, M. J. Page, M. De Pasquale +5

We examine a sample of 48 Swift/UVOT long Gamma-ray Burst light curves and find a correlation between the logarithmic luminosity at 200s and average decay rate determined from 200s…

Multi-color observations of short GRB afterglows: 20 events observed between 2007 and 2010

A. Nicuesa Guelbenzu, S. Klose, J. Greiner +18

We report on follow-up observations of 20 short-duration gamma-ray bursts performed in g'r'i'z'JHKs with the seven-channel imager GROND between mid-2007 and the end of 2010. This i…

Discovery of the neutron star spin and a possible orbital period from the Be/X-ray binary IGR J05414-6858 in the LMC

R. Sturm, F. Haberl, A. Rau +7

The number of known Be/X-ray binaries in the Large Magellanic Cloud is small compared to the observed population of the Galaxy or the Small Magellanic Cloud. The discovery of a sys…

The late-time afterglow of the extremely energetic short burst GRB 090510 revisited

A. Nicuesa Guelbenzu, S. Klose, T. Kruehler +16

The discovery of the short GRB 090510 has raised considerable attention mainly because it had a bright optical afterglow and it is among the most energetic events detected so far w…
