Late-time Observations of GRB 080319B: Jet Break, Host Galaxy, and Accompanying Supernova

Late-time Observations of GRB 080319B: Jet Break, Host Galaxy, and Accompanying Supernova

The Swift-discovered GRB 080319B was by far the most distant source ever observed at naked-eye brightness,reaching a peak apparent magnitude of 5.3 at a redshift of z = 0.937. We present our late-time optical (HubbleSpace Telescope, Gemini, and Very Large Telescope) and X-ray (Chandra) observations,...
