The nature of the late achromatic bump in GRB 120326A
A. Melandri, F. J. Virgili, C. Guidorzi +24
The long gamma-ray burst GRB 120326A at redshift exhibited a multi-band light curve with a striking feature: a late-time, long-lasting achromatic rebrighten…
The mysterious optical afterglow spectrum of GRB140506A at z=0.889
J. P. U. Fynbo, T. Krühler, K. Leighly +40
Context. Gamma-ray burst (GRBs) afterglows probe sightlines to star-forming regions in distant star-forming galaxies. Here we present a study of the peculiar afterglow spectrum of…
Are LGRBs biased tracers of star formation? Clues from the host galaxies of the Swift/BAT6 complete sample of LGRBs. I: Stellar mass at z<1
S. D. Vergani, R. Salvaterra, J. Japelj +20
LGRBs are associated with massive stars and are therefore linked to star formation. The conditions necessary to produce LGRBs can affect the relation between the LGRB rate and star…
A quiescent galaxy at the position of the long GRB 050219A
A. Rossi, S. Piranomonte, S. Savaglio +25
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are produced by the collapse of very massive stars. Due to the short lifetime of their progenitors, LGRBs pinpoint star-forming galaxies. We…
Phenomenology of Reverse-Shock Emission in the Optical Afterglows of Gamma Ray Bursts
J. Japelj, D. Kopac, S. Kobayashi +6
We use a parent sample of 118 gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows, with known redshift and host galaxy extinction, to separate afterglows with and without signatures of dominant rever…
