TL;DR: In this paper, the spectral and energy properties of 12 gamma-ray bursts with redshift estimates were investigated and a positive correlation between the estimated total (isotropic) energies in the 1-10 000 keV energy range (Erad) and redshifts z was found.
Journal ArticleDOI

Coletta,Louis Antonelli,Paolo Giommi,J. M. Muller,L. Piro,R. C. Butler +25 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors reported the detection by the Beppo-SAX satellite of an X-ray "afterglow" associated with the γ-ray burst of 28 February 1997 (GRB970228; ref.
Journal ArticleDOI
Spectral constraints on the redshift of the optical counterpart to the γ-ray burst of 8 May 1997
Mark R. Metzger,S. G. Djorgovski,Shrinivas R. Kulkarni,Charles C. Steidel,K. L. Adelberger,Dale A. Frail,Enrico Costa,Filippo Frontera +7 more
TL;DR: In this paper, spectroscopic observations of the possible optical counterpart to the y-ray burst GRB970508 were reported, showing that the spectrum is mostly featureless, except for a few prominent absorption lines which were attributed to the presence of an absorption system along the line of sight at redshift z = 0835.
Journal ArticleDOI
Observation of contemporaneous optical radiation from a γ-ray burst
Carl W. Akerlof,R. Balsano,Scott Barthelmy,Scott Barthelmy,Jeffrey J. Bloch,P. Butterworth,P. Butterworth,Donald E. Casperson,T. L. Cline,S. Fletcher,Filippo Frontera,Galen Gisler,John Heise,J. Hills,Robert Kehoe,Byungjun Lee,S. L. Marshall,Timothy A. McKay,Robert Miller,L. Piro,William C. Priedhorsky,John J. Szymanski,Jim Wren +22 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors reported the detection of bright optical emission from GRB990123 while the burst was still in progress, and the redshift of this burst, z ≈ 1.6, implies a peak optical luminosity of 5× 1049 −1.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The discovery of the unusual supernova SN1998bw, and its possible association with the γ-ray burst GRB 9804251,2,3, provide new insights into the explosion mechanism of very massive stars and the origin of some classes of gamma-ray bursts.
