Studying the SN-GRB connection with X-shooter: The GRB 100316D / SN 2010bh case
Abstract
During the last ten years, observations of long-duration gamma-ray bursts brought to the conclusion that at least a fraction of them is associated with bright supernovae of type Ib/c. In this talk, after a short review on the previously observed GRB-SN connection cases, we present the recent case of GRB 100316/SN 2010bh. In particular, during the observational campaign of SN 2010bh, a pivotal role was played by VLT/X-shooter, sampling with unique high quality data the spectral energy distribution of the early evolution phases from the UV to the K band.
Based on observations collected at the European Southern Observatory, ESO, the VLT/Kueyen telescope, Paranal, Chile, proposal codes 084.D-0265 and 085.D-0701, P.I. S.Benetti and 084.A-0260 and 085.A-0009, P.I. J.Fynbo.- Publication:
