PSR J1311-3430: A Heavyweight Neutron Star with a Flyweight Helium Companion
Roger W. Romani, Alexei V. Filippenko, Jeffery M. Silverman +5
We have obtained initial spectroscopic observations and additional photometry of the newly discovered Pb=94min gamma-ray black-widow pulsar PSR J1311-3430. The Keck spectra show a…
GRB 091029: At the limit of the fireball scenario
R. Filgas, J. Greiner, P. Schady +20
Using high-quality, broad-band afterglow data for GRB 091029, we test the validity of the forward-shock model for gamma-ray burst afterglows. We used multi-wavelength (NIR to X-ray…
Multi-color observations of short GRB afterglows: 20 events observed between 2007 and 2010
A. Nicuesa Guelbenzu, S. Klose, J. Greiner +18
We report on follow-up observations of 20 short-duration gamma-ray bursts performed in g'r'i'z'JHKs with the seven-channel imager GROND between mid-2007 and the end of 2010. This i…
The long gamma-ray burst rate and the correlation with host galaxy properties
J. Elliott, J. Greiner, S. Khochfar +3
To answer questions on the start and duration of the epoch of reionisation, periods of galaxy mergers and properties of other cosmological encounters, the cosmic star formation his…
The late-time afterglow of the extremely energetic short burst GRB 090510 revisited
A. Nicuesa Guelbenzu, S. Klose, T. Kruehler +16
The discovery of the short GRB 090510 has raised considerable attention mainly because it had a bright optical afterglow and it is among the most energetic events detected so far w…
