Photometric Redshift of the Grb 981226 Host Galaxy
No optical afterglow was found for the dark burst GRB 981226 and hence no absorption redshift has been obtained. We here use ground-based and space imaging observations to analyse the spectral energy distribution (SED) of the host galaxy. By comparison with synthetic template spectra we determine the photometric redshift of the GRB 981226 host to be zphot = 1.11±0.06 (68% confidence level). Whi...
متن کاملThe Redshift of Grb 970508
GRB 970508 is the second gamma-ray burst (GRB) for which an optical afterglow has been detected. It is the first GRB for which a distance scale has been determined: absorption and emission features in spectra of the optical afterglow place GRB 970508 at a redshift of z ≥ 0.835 (Metzger et al. 1997a, 1997b). The lack of a Lyman-α forest in these spectra further constrains this redshift to be les...
متن کاملinvestigating the feasibility of a proposed model for geometric design of deployable arch structures
deployable scissor type structures are composed of the so-called scissor-like elements (sles), which are connected to each other at an intermediate point through a pivotal connection and allow them to be folded into a compact bundle for storage or transport. several sles are connected to each other in order to form units with regular polygonal plan views. the sides and radii of the polygons are...
Photometric Redshift Error Estimators
Photometric redshift (photo-z) estimates are playing an increasingly important role in extragalactic astronomy and cosmology. Crucial to many photo-z applications is the accurate quantification of photometric redshift errors and their distributions, including identification of likely catastrophic failures in photo-z estimates. We consider several methods of estimating photo-z errors and propose...
متن کاملThe optical flare and afterglow light curve of GRB 050904 at redshift z = 6 . 29
GRB050904 is very interesting since it is by far the most distant GRB event known to date (z = 6.29). It was reported that during the prompt high energy emission phase, a very bright optical flare was detected, and it was temporal coincident with an X-ray flare. Here we use two models to explain the optical flare, One is the “late internal shock model”, in which the optical flare is produced by...
