High energy blazars spectroscopy with X-Shooter on the VLT
Santiago Pita, Paolo Goldoni, Catherine Boisson +4
We present results of observations in the UV to near-IR range for eight blazars, three of which have been recently discovered at Very High Energies (VHE) and five appearing as inte…
GRB 100219A with X-shooter - abundances in a galaxy at z = 4.7
C. C. Thoene, J. P. U. Fynbo, P. Goldoni +24
Abundances of galaxies at redshifts z > 4 are difficult to obtain from damped Ly α (DLA) systems in the sightlines of quasars (QSOs) due to the Ly α forest blanketing and the low n…
Simultaneous Ultraviolet and Optical Emission-line Profiles of Quasars: Implications for Black Hole Mass Determination
Luis C. Ho, Paolo Goldoni, Xiao-Bo Dong +2
The X-shooter instrument on the VLT was used to obtain spectra of seven moderate-redshift quasars simultaneously covering the spectral range 3000 Ang to 2.5 microns. At z ~ 1.5, mo…
Detailed optical and near-infrared polarimetry, spectroscopy and broadband photometry of the afterglow of GRB 091018: Polarisation evolution
K. Wiersema, P. A. Curran, T. Kruehler +30
[Abridged] A number of phenomena have been observed in GRB afterglows that defy explanation by simple versions of the standard fireball model, leading to a variety of new models. P…
VLT/X-shooter spectroscopy of the candidate black-hole X-ray binary MAXI J1659-152 in outburst
Ramanpreet Kaur, Lex Kaper, Lucas E. Ellerbroek +15
We present the optical to near-infrared spectrum of MAXI J1659-152, during the onset of its 2010 X-ray outburst. The spectrum was obtained with X-shooter on the ESO - Very Large Te…
