Using galaxy Ly$\alpha$ emission to probe reionization relies on establishing baseline expectations for its detectability in the absence of attenuation by neutral gas in the IGM. Towards this end, the growing numbers of $z \sim 5$--6…
Luminous infrared galaxies and submillimeter galaxies contribute significantly to stellar mass assembly and the frequency of GRBs in these systems provides an important test of the connection between the gamma-ray burst rate and that of…
We demonstrate the redshift-evolution of the spectral profile of H i Lyman-alpha (Ly{\alpha}) emission from star-forming galaxies. In this first study we pay special attention to the contribution of blueshifted emission. At redshift z =…
We summarize the relationship between the free-free emission foreground and Galactic H-alpha emission. H-alpha observations covering nearly the entire celestial sphere are described. These data provide a template to isolate and/or remove…
We study the formation and evolution of the spectral imprint of resonantly scattered Lyman $\alpha$ photons in the context of GRB's continuum optical afterglow. Based on an analytic model and a complete treatment of all the scatterings…
We summarise the results of a deep search for Lyman alpha emission from star-forming regions associated with damped Lyman alpha absorption systems and conclude that the Lyman alpha luminosity of high redshift galaxies is generally less than…
The traditional view that Ly-alpha emission and dust should be mutually exclusive has been questioned more and more often; most notably, the observations of Ly-alpha emission from ULIRGs seem to counter this view. In this paper we seek to…
We use galaxy catalogues constructed by combining high-resolution N-body simulations with semi-analytic models of galaxy formation to study the properties of Long Gamma-Ray Burst (LGRB) host galaxies. We assume that LGRBs originate from the…
We present optical spectra of the host galaxies of the short-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 070429B and the likely short-duration with extended emission GRB 070714B. In both cases, we find a single emission line that we identify as O II…
We present the largest, publicly available, sample of Damped Lyman-$\alpha$ systems (DLAs) along Gamma-ray Bursts (GRB) line of sights in order to investigate the environmental properties of long GRBs in the $z=1.8-6$ redshift range.…
We study the average Ly$\alpha$ emission associated with high-$z$ strong (log $N$(H I) $\ge$ 21) damped Ly$\alpha$ systems (DLAs). We report Ly$\alpha$ luminosities ($L_{\rm Ly\alpha}$) for the full as well as various sub-samples based on…
Lyman $\alpha$ (Ly$\alpha$) is now routinely used as a tool for studying high-redshift galaxies and its resonant nature means it can trace neutral hydrogen around star-forming galaxies. Integral field spectrograph measurements of…
Because of their brightness, gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows are viable targets for investigating the dust content in their host galaxies. Simple intrinsic spectral shapes of GRB afterglows allow us to derive the dust extinction. Recently,…
A possible connection among host-galaxies of gamma-ray bursts, BL Lacs and quasars is analysed. It is believed that the gamma-ray bursts, which do not show radio or infrared emission, occur in faint blue dwarf galaxies, that are seen around…
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are associated with the death of metal-poor massive stars. Even though they are highly transient events very hard to localize, they are so bright that they can be detected in the most difficult…
Long-duration gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) are powerful tracers of star-forming galaxies. We have defined a homogeneous subsample of 69 Swift GRB-selected galaxies spanning a very wide redshift range. Special attention has been devoted to making…
(Abridged) Until recently the information inferred from gamma-ray burst follow-up observations was mostly limited to optically bright afterglows, biasing all demographic studies against sight-lines that contain large amounts of dust. Here,…
The brief review and discussion of statement of some observational problems of gamma-ray bursts (GRB), GRB host galaxies and star forming at small and large redshifts: Are there similarities and differences between GRB hosts and the typical…
We have conducted the first dedicated spectroscopic survey of long-duration gamma-ray burst (LGRB) host galaxies at z < 1, and use these observations along with data from the literature to determine a wide range of ISM properties and a…
Nearby starburst galaxies have consistently shown anomalous Ly-alpha/H-beta ratios. By re-analysing the published IUE/optical observations, we show that most starbursts present a normal Ly-alpha emission, consistent with case B…
