Initial follow-up of optical transients with COLORES using the BOOTES network
M. D. Caballero-Garcia, M. Jelinek, A. Castro-Tirado +4
The Burst Observer and Optical Transient Exploring System (BOOTES) is a network of telescopes that allows the continuous monitoring of transient astrophysical sources. It was origi…
A deep search for the host galaxies of GRBs with no detected optical afterglow
A. Rossi, S. Klose, P. Ferrero +28
Gamma-Ray Bursts can provide information about star formation at high redshifts. Even in the absence of a optical/near-infrared/radio afterglow, the high detection rate of X-ray af…
GRB091127/SN2009nz and the VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of its host galaxy: probing the faint end of the mass-metallicity relation
S. D. Vergani, H. Flores, S. Covino +36
We perform a detailed study of the gamma-ray burst GRB091127/SN2009nz host galaxy at z=0.490 using the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph in slit and integral-field unit (IFU). From the an…
A photometric redshift of for the \agile GRB 080514B
A. Rossi, A. de Ugarte Postigo, P. Ferrero +26
Aims: The AGILE gamma-ray burst GRB 080514B is the first burst with detected emission above 30 MeV and an optical afterglow. However, no spectroscopic redshift for this burst is kn…
Detection of GRB 060927 at z = 5.47: Implications for the Use of Gamma-Ray Bursts as Probes of the End of the Dark Ages
A. E. Ruiz-Velasco, H. Swan, E. Troja +54
We report on follow-up observations of the GRB 060927 using the ROTSE-IIIa telescope and a suite of larger aperture ground-based telescopes. An optical afterglow was detected 20 s…
A Deep Search with HST for Late Time Supernova Signatures in the Hosts of XRF 011030 and XRF 020427
Andrew Levan, Sandeep Patel, Chryssa Kouveliotou +16
X-ray Flashes (XRFs) are, like Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), thought to signal the collapse of massive stars in distant galaxies. Many models posit that the isotropic equivalent energie…
