The Host Galaxy of the Gamma – Ray Burst 971214
We report on Hubble Space Telescope (HST) observations of the host galaxy of GRB 971214, taken four months after the burst. The redshift of the proposed host galaxy at z = 3.418, combined with optical and radio observations of the burst afterglow, implies the extremely large isotropic energy release from the burst in γ-rays of Eγ ≈ 3 × 10 53 erg, some two orders of magnitude higher than the pre...
متن کاملThe submillimetre properties of gamma-ray burst host galaxies
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) accompany the deaths of some massive stars and hence, because massive stars are short-lived, are a tracer of star formation activity. Given that GRBs are bright enough to be seen to very high redshifts and detected even in dusty environments, they should therefore provide a powerful probe of the global star formation history of the Universe. The potential o...
متن کاملPROPERTIES OF A GAMMA - RAY BURST HOST GALAXY AT z ∼ 51
We describe the properties of the host galaxy of the gamma-ray burst GRB 060510B based on a spectrum of the burst afterglow obtained with the Gemini North 8 m telescope. The galaxy lies at a redshift of , z p 4.941 making it the fourth highest spectroscopically identified burst host. However, it is the second highest redshift galaxy for which the quality of the spectrum permits a detailed metal...
متن کاملThe afterglow and elliptical host galaxy of the short gamma-ray burst GRB 050724.
Despite a rich phenomenology, gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are divided into two classes based on their duration and spectral hardness--the long-soft and the short-hard bursts. The discovery of afterglow emission from long GRBs was a watershed event, pinpointing their origin to star-forming galaxies, and hence the death of massive stars, and indicating an energy release of about 10(51) erg. While the...
