GRB Redshift determination in the X–ray band
If γ−ray bursts originate in dense stellar forming regions, the interstellar material can imprint detectable absorption features on the observed X–ray spectrum. Such features can be detected by existing and planned X–ray satellites, as long as the X–ray afterglow is observed after a few minutes from the burst. Detection of these X–ray features will make possible the determination of the redshif...

متن کاملSpectroscopy of the Host Galaxy of the Gamma – Ray Burst 980703
We present spectroscopic observations of the host galaxy of the γ-ray burst (GRB) 980703. Several emission and absorption features are detected, making the redshift, z = 0.966, completely unambiguous. This is only the third known redshift for a GRB host. The implied isotropic γ-ray energy release from the burst is in excess of 10 erg, for a reasonable choice of cosmological parameters. The spec...
متن کاملObservations of Grb 990123 by the Compt on Gamma Ray Observ at Ory
GRB 990123 was the Ðrst burst from which simultaneous optical, X-ray, and gamma-ray emission was detected ; its afterglow has been followed by an extensive set of radio, optical, and X-ray observations. We have studied the gamma-ray burst itself as observed by the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory detectors. We Ðnd that gamma-ray Ñuxes are not correlated with the simultaneous optical observations a...
متن کاملEnergetics of Gamma Ray Bursts
We determine the distribution of total energy emitted by gamma-ray bursts for bursts with fluences and distance information. Our core sample consists of eight bursts with BATSE spectra and spectroscopic redshifts. We extend this sample by adding four bursts with BATSE spectra and host galaxy R magnitudes. From these R magnitudes we calculate a redshift probability distribution; this method requ...
