GRB hosts through cosmic time
We present data and initial results from VLT/X-Shooter emission-line spectroscopy of 96 galaxies selected by long γ-ray bursts (GRBs) at 0.1 < z < 3.6, the largest sample of GRB host spectra available to date. Most of our GRBs were detected by Swift and 76% are at 0.5 < z < 2.5 with a median zmed ∼ 1.6. Based on Balmer and/or forbidden lines of oxygen, nitrogen, and neon, we measure systemic re...

متن کاملTime Delays in Cosmic Ray Propagation
Cosmic Rays (CR) travel at speeds essentially indistinguishable from the speed of light. However whilst travelling through magnetic fields, both regular and turbulent, they are delayed behind the light since they are usually charged particles and their paths are not linear. Those delays can be so long that they are an impediment to correctly identifying sources which may be variable in time. Fu...
متن کاملS ep 2 00 7 The population of GRB hosts
The properties of their hosts provide important clues to the progenitors of different classes of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The hosts themselves also constitute a sample of high-redshift star-forming galaxies which, unlike most other methods, is not selected on the luminosities of the galaxies themselves. We discuss what we have learnt from and about GRB host galaxies to date.
متن کاملCould the GRB - Supernovae GRB 031203 and XRF 060218 be Cosmic Twins ?
The gamma-ray burst (GRB) / X-ray flash (XRF) events GRB031203, discovered by INTEGRAL, and XRF 060218, discovered by Swift, represent two of only five GRB-SNe with optical spectroscopic confirmation of their SN components. Yet their observed high-energy properties offer a sharp contrast: While GRB031203 was detected as a short 40-s burst with a spectrum peaking at Epeak > 190 keV, XRF060218 wa...
