Detecting filaments at z=3

J. P. U. Fynbo, P. Moller, B. Thomsen

We present the detection of a filament of Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in front of the quasar Q1205-30 at z=3.04 based on deep narrow band imaging and follow-up spectroscopy obtained…

The optical afterglow and host galaxy of GRB 000926

J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Gorosabel, P. Moller +7

In this paper we illustrate with the case of GRB 000926 how Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) can be used as cosmological lighthouses to identify and study star forming galaxies at high reds…

Probing the faint end of the Galaxy luminosity function at z=3 with Ly-alpha emission

J. U. Fynbo, P. Moller, B. Thomsen

We present spectroscopic observations obtained with the ESO Very Large Telecope (VLT) of seven candidate Ly-alpha emitting galaxies in the field of the radio quiet Q1205-30 at z=3.…

The Host Galaxy and Optical Light Curve of the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB 980703

S. Holland, J. P. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +10

We present deep HST/STIS and ground-based photometry of the host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst GRB 980703 taken 17, 551, 710, and 716 days after the burst. We find that the host is…

The optical afterglow and host galaxy of GRB000926

J. U. Fynbo, J. Gorosabel, T. H. Dall +27

We present the discovery of the Optical Transient (OT) of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB000926. The optical transient was detected independently with the Nordic Optical Tele…

Deep imaging of Q2112+059: A bright host galaxy but no DLA absorber

J. U. Fynbo, P. Moller, B. Thomsen

In a ongoing programme aimed at studying galaxy counterparts of Damped Ly-alpha Absorbers (DLAs) we have obtained high resolution deep I-band imaging data of the field around the z…
