A γ-ray burst at a redshift of z ≈ 8.2

Nial R. Tanvir, +65 more
- 29 Oct 2009 - 
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported that GRB 090423 lies at a redshift of z approximate to 8.2, implying that massive stars were being produced and dying as GRBs similar to 630 Myr after the Big Bang.
Journal ArticleDOI

An extremely luminous X-ray outburst at the birth of a supernova

TL;DR: This work reports the serendipitous discovery of a supernova at the time of the explosion, marked by an extremely luminous X-ray outburst, and attributes the outburst to the ‘break-out’ of the supernova shock wave from the progenitor star, and shows that the inferred rate of such events agrees with that of all core-collapse supernovae.
Journal ArticleDOI

Broadband observations of the naked-eye gamma-ray burst GRB 080319B

Judith Racusin, +99 more
- 11 Sep 2008 - 
TL;DR: Observations of the extraordinarily bright prompt optical and γ-ray emission of GRB 080319B that provide diagnostics within seconds of its formation, followed by broadband observations of the afterglow decay that continued for weeks.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Photometric Redshift of z ~ 9.4 for GRB 090429B

TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a photometric redshift of 9.4 for the Swift detected GRB 090429B based on deep observations with Gemini-North, the Very Large Telescope, and the GRB Optical and Near-infrared Detector.
