A study of the prompt and afterglow emission of the short GRB 061201

Abstract: Context. Our knowledge of the intrinsic properties of short duration Gamma-Ray Bursts has relied, so far, only upon a few cases for which the estimate of the distance and an extended, multiwavelength monitoring of the afterglow have been obtained. Aims. We carried out multiwavelength observations of the short GRB 061201 aimed at estimating its distance and studying its properties. Methods. We performed a spectral and timing analysis of the prompt and afterglow emission and discuss the results in the context of… Show more

“…In these cases too, an optical spectrum taken during the early stages of the afterglow could have given useful hints. Featureless spectra have recently been reported for the short bursts GRB 061201 (Stratta et al 2007) and GRB 070707 (Piranomonte et al 2008), but with a low signal-to-noise.…”

“…If galaxy C is the host of GRB 100628A then, after GRB 061201 (Stratta et al 2007) and GRB 080905A (Rowlinson et al 2010), this would be the third case of a short-GRB host lying at a redshift z ∼ 0.1. How likely is this kind of scenario?…”

“…Only two short GRBs 17 have been discovered at z 0.2: GRB 050709 (z = 0.161) and GRB 080905A (z = 0.1218), both of which have star-forming host galaxies (Fox et al 2005;Hjorth et al 2005b;Rowlinson et al 2010). A third event, GRB 061201, is potentially associated with a star-forming galaxy at z = 0.111; however, this association is less robust (Stratta et al 2007;Fong et al 2010). In general, events at low redshift offer an opportunity to study their explosion and host galaxy environments in great detail.…”
