A multi-colour study of the dark GRB 000210 host galaxy and its environment (2002)

Gorosabel, J., Christensen, L., Hjorth, J., Fynbo, J. U., Pedersen, H., Jensen, B. L., ...

We present UBVRIZJsHKs broad band photometry of the host galaxy of the dark gamma-ray burst (GRB) of February 10, 2000. These observations represent the most exhaustive photometry given to date of...

Development of axon pathways in the zebrafish central nervous system (2002)

Hjorth, J., Key, B.

The zebrafish has a number of distinct advantages as an experimental model in developmental biology. For example, large numbers of embryos can be generated in each lay, development proceeds rapidly...

An Optical Time-Delay for the Lensed BAL Quasar HE2149-2745 (2001)

Burud, I., Courbin, F., Magain, P., Lidman, C., Hutsemekers, D., ...

We present optical V and i-band light curves of the gravitationally lensed BAL quasar HE2149-2745. The data, obtained with the 1.5m Danish Telescope (ESO-La Silla) between October 1998 and December...

Reactions of Cl atoms with selected VOCs: Kinetics, products and mechanisms (1998)

Jensen, NR, Saastad, O, Hjorth, J

The reactions of isoprene, MBO (2-methyl-3-buten-2-ol) and toluene with chlorine atoms have been studied at 298 +/- 5 K and 740 +/- 5 Torr with the use of FTIR spectroscopy. Major products of the...

Detection of the lensing galaxy for the double QSO HE 1104-1805 (1998)

Remy, M., Surdej, Jean, Hjorth, J., Refsdal, S., Wucknitz, O., ...

High angular resolution ground-based direct imaging (V, R, I_c) of the double QSO HE 1104-1805 has been obtained with the NOT and NTT telescopes. Analysis of these data led to the first detection of...
