The luminous, massive and solar metallicity galaxy hosting the Swift gamma-ray burst, GRB 160804A at z = 0.737
K. E. Heintz, D. Malesani, K. Wiersema +19
We here present the spectroscopic follow-up observations with VLT/X-shooter of the Swift long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 160804A at z = 0.737. Typically, GRBs are found in low-ma…
A kilonova as the electromagnetic counterpart to a gravitational-wave source
S. J. Smartt, T. -W. Chen, A. Jerkstrand +118
Gravitational waves were discovered with the detection of binary black hole mergers and they should also be detectable from lower mass neutron star mergers. These are predicted to…
Mass and metallicity scaling relations of high redshift star-forming galaxies selected by GRBs
M. Arabsalmani, P. Møller, D. A. Perley +19
We present a comprehensive study of the relations between gas kinematics, metallicity, and stellar mass in a sample of 82 GRB-selected galaxies using absorption and emission method…
Solving the conundrum of intervening strong MgII absorbers towards GRBs and quasars
L. Christensen, S. D. Vergani, S. Schulze +33
Previous studies have shown that the incidence rate of intervening strong MgII absorbers towards GRBs were a factor of 2 - 4 higher than towards quasars. Exploring the similar size…
The host galaxy of the short GRB111117A at : impact on the short GRB redshift distribution and progenitor channels
J. Selsing, T. Krühler, D. Malesani +26
It is notoriously difficult to localize short -ray bursts (sGRBs) and their hosts to measure their redshifts. These measurements, however, are critical to constrain the nature o…
The high A_V Quasar Survey: A z=2.027 metal-rich damped Lyman-alpha absorber towards a red quasar at z=3.21
Johan P. U. Fynbo, Jens-Kristian Krogager, Kasper E. Heintz +6
To fully exploit the potential of quasars as probes of cosmic chemical evolution and the internal gas dynamics of galaxies it is important to understand the selection effects behin…
GRB 161219B / SN 2016jca: A low-redshift gamma-ray burst supernova powered by radioactive heating
Z. Cano, L. Izzo, A. de Ugarte Postigo +22
Since the first discovery of a broad-lined type Ic supernova (SN) with a long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB) in 1998, fewer than fifty gamma-ray burst supernovae (GRB-SNe) have bee…
Steep extinction towards GRB 140506A reconciled from host galaxy observations: Evidence that steep reddening laws are local
K. E. Heintz, J. P. U. Fynbo, P. Jakobsson +14
We present the spectroscopic and photometric late-time follow-up of the host galaxy of the long-duration Swift gamma-ray burst GRB 140506A at z = 0.889. The optical and near-infrar…
