The host galaxy of GRB010222: the strongest damped Lyman-alpha system known (2001)
Journal Article
Maxted, P. (2001). The host galaxy of GRB010222: the strongest damped Lyman-alpha system known

Analysis of the absorption lines in the afterglow spectrum of the gamma-ray burst GRB010222 indicates that its host galaxy (at a redshift of z=1.476) is the strongest damped Lyman-alpha (DLA) system known, having a very low metallicity and modest dus...

We present the first detection of the mass donor star in the cataclysmic variable WZ Sge. Phase resolved spectroscopy reveals narrow Balmer emission components from the irradiated secondary star during the 2001 outburst. Its radial velocity curve ind...
