Highly-ionized metals as probes of the circumburst gas in the natal regions of gamma-ray bursts
K. E. Heintz, D. Watson, P. Jakobsson +18
We present here a survey of high-ionization absorption lines in the afterglow spectra of long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) obtained with the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph. Our mai…
The unpolarized macronova associated with the gravitational wave event GW170817
S. Covino, K. Wiersema, Y. Z. Fan +37
The merger of two dense stellar remnants including at least one neutron star (NS) is predicted to produce gravitational waves (GWs) and short duration gamma ray bursts (GRBs). In t…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the GRB 120327A afterglow
V. D'Elia, J. P. U. Fynbo, P. Goldoni +19
We present a study of the environment of the Swift long gamma-ray burst GRB 120327A at z ~2.8 through optical spectroscopy of its afterglow. We analyzed medium-resolution, multi-ep…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the GRB 090926A afterglow
V. D'Elia, J. P. U. Fynbo, S. Covino +21
The aim of this paper is to study the environment and intervening absorbers of the gamma-ray burst GRB 090926A through analysis of optical spectra of its afterglow. We analyze medi…
