What is the redshift of gamma-ray burst 970508?
Nahum Arav, David W. Hogg
Abstract
A Bayesian likelihood analysis is used to constrain the redshift of the optical transient associated with gamma-ray burst 970508, under the assumption that the absorption at redshift 0.835 is not physically associated with the transient. The maximum-likelihood, expectation value and 95-percent upper limit on the OT redshift are 0.835, 1.3 and 1.9 respectively.
