HUBBLE SPACE TELESCOPE AND SPITZER OBSERVATIONS OF THE AFTERGLOW AND HOST GALAXY OF GRB 050904 AT z = 6.295
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST ) and Spitzer Space Telescope observations of GRB 050904 at z 1⁄4 6:295. We detect the afterglow in the H band more than 3 weeks after the burst and confirm the presence of a jet break at t 2:1 days. This leads to an estimated opening angle of about 4 and a beaming-corrected energy of about 10 ergs, similar to those of lower redshift gamma-ray bursts ...
متن کاملThe Late Afterglow and Host Galaxy of GRB 990712.
We present deep Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imaging, as well as ground-based imaging and spectroscopy, of the optical afterglow associated with the long-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 990712 and its host galaxy. The data were obtained 48-123 days after the burst occurred. The magnitudes of the host (R=21.9, V=22.5) and optical afterglow (R=25.4, V=25.8, 47.7 days after the burst) favor a scenari...
متن کاملThe 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 کاملSpectroscopy of the γ-ray burst GRB 021004: a structured jet ploughing through a massive stellar wind
We present spectra of the afterglow of the γ -ray burst GRB 021004 taken with the ISIS spectrograph on the William Herschel Telescope (WHT) and with the Focal Reducer/Low Dispersion Spectrograph 1 (FORS1) on the Very Large Telescope (VLT) at three epochs spanning 0.49–6.62 d after the burst. We observe strong absorption probably coming from the host galaxy, alongside absorption in H I, Si IV an...
متن کاملGRB 021004: a Massive Progenitor Star Surrounded by Shells
We present spectra of the optical transient of GRB 021004 obtained with the HobbyEberly Telescope starting 15.48, 20.31 hours, and 4.84 days after the γ-ray burst and a spectrum obtained with the H. J. Smith 2.7 m Telescope starting 14.31 hours after the γ-ray burst. GRB 021004 is the first burst afterglow for which the spectrum is dominated by absorption lines from high ionization species with...
