Talk — Gotta Catch 'Em All: the ESO Stargate program on gamma-ray bursts follow-up
Daniele Bjørn Malesani (Cosmic Dawn Center, Niels Bohr Institute, University of Copenhagen)

Abstract

Gamma-ray bursts fascinate astronomers both for their astounding power and for their effectiveness as cosmological probes. Spectroscopy of their bright optical counterparts allows to dissect the interstellar and circumgalactic medium of high-redshift star-forming galaxies, testing their gas, metals, dust, and molecular content. At the same time, also thanks to a new suite of instruments, we have been discovering a richer diversity of progenitor systems - with the two main players being collapsing massive stars and binary compact object mergers. I will highlight the recent progress and surprises in the field achieved via the "Stargate" program at the VLT.
