Limits on optical polarization during the prompt phase of GRB 140430A
D. Kopac, C. G. Mundell, J. Japelj +17
Gamma-ray burst GRB 140430A was detected by the Swift satellite and observed promptly with the imaging polarimeter RINGO3 mounted on the Liverpool Telescope, with observations begi…
GRB host galaxies with VLT/X-Shooter: properties at 0.8 < z < 1.3
S. Piranomonte, J. Japelj, S. D. Vergani +19
Long gamma-ray bursts (LGRBs) are associated with the death of massive stars. Their host galaxies therefore represent a unique class of objects tracing star formation across the ob…
The high-redshift gamma-ray burst GRB140515A
A. Melandri, M. G. Bernardini, P. D'Avanzo +22
High-redshift gamma-ray bursts have several advantages for the study of the distant universe, providing unique information about the structure and properties of the galaxies in whi…
GRB hosts through cosmic time - VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 GRB-selected galaxies at 0.1 < z < 3.6
T. Krühler, D. Malesani, J. P. U. Fynbo +41
[Abridged] We present data and initial results from VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 GRB-selected galaxies at 0.1<z<3.6, the largest sample of GRB host spectroscopy a…
Unveiling the population of orphan Gamma Ray Bursts
G. Ghirlanda, R. Salvaterra, S. Campana +12
Gamma Ray Bursts are detectable in the gamma-ray band if their jets are oriented towards the observer. However, for each GRB with a typical theta_jet, there should be ~2/theta_jet^…
Radio flares from gamma-ray bursts
D. Kopac, C. G. Mundell, S. Kobayashi +6
We present predictions of centimeter and millimeter radio emission from reverse shocks in the early afterglows of gamma-ray bursts with the goal of determining their detectability…
Spectrophotometric analysis of GRB afterglow extinction curves with X-shooter
J. Japelj, S. Covino, A. Gomboc +21
In this work we use gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow spectra observed with the VLT/X-shooter spectrograph to measure rest-frame extinction in GRB lines-of-sight by modeling the broa…
