GRB070125: The First Long-Duration Gamma-Ray Burst in a Halo Environment
S. B. Cenko, D. B. Fox, B. E. Penprase +15
We present the discovery and high signal-to-noise spectroscopic observations of the optical afterglow of the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB070125. Unlike all previously observed…
A New Population of High Redshift Short-Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, D. B. Fox, P. A. Price +23
The redshift distribution of the short-duration GRBs is a crucial, but currently fragmentary, clue to the nature of their progenitors. Here we present optical observations of nine…
A Spectacular Radio Flare from XRF 050416a at 40 days and Implications for the Nature of X-ray Flashes
A. M. Soderberg, E. Nakar, S. B. Cenko +26
We present detailed optical, near-infrared, and radio observations of the X-ray flash 050416a obtained with Palomar and Siding Springs Observatories as well as HST and the VLA, pla…
Spectroscopy of GRB 051111 at z=1.54948: Kinematics and Elemental Abundances of the GRB Environment and Host Galaxy
B. E. Penprase, E. Berger, D. B. Fox +8
We present a high-resolution, high signal-to-noise optical spectrum of the afterglow of GRB 051111 obtained with the HIRES spectrograph on the Keck I 10-m telescope. The spectrum e…
The Discovery of the Optical and Near-IR Afterglows of the First Swift Gamma-Ray Bursts
E. Berger, D. B. Fox, S. R. Kulkarni +16
We present optical and near-infrared searches for afterglow emission from the first four Swift bursts with accurate positions from the X-ray Telescope (XRT). Using telescopes at La…
Discovery of GRB 020405 and its Late Red Bump
P. A. Price, S. R. Kulkarni, E. Berger +41
We present the discovery of GRB 020405 made with the Inter-Planetary Network (IPN). With a duration of 60 s, the burst appears to be a typical long duration event. We observed the…
