Molecular hydrogen in the damped Lyman alpha system towards GRB 120815A at z=2.36

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

We present the discovery of molecular hydrogen (H-2), including the presence of vibrationally-excited H-2* in the optical spectrum of the of GRB 120815A at z = 2.36 obtained with X-shooter at the VLT. Simultaneous photometric broad-band data from GROND X-ray observations by SwiftXRT place further constraints on the amount and nature of dust along the sightline. The galactic of GRB 120815A is characterized by a strong DLA with log(N(H I) = cm(-2)) = 21.95 +/- 0.10, prominent H-2 absorption the Lyman-Werner bands (log(N(H-2) = cm(-2)) = 20.54 +/- 0.13) and thus a molecular gas fraction log f(H-2) = 1.14 +/- 0.15. The d between the absorbing neutral gas and GRB 120815A is constrained via photo-excitation modeling of fine-structure and stable transitions of Fe II and Ni II to d = 0.5 +/- 0.1 kpc. The DLA metallicity ([Zn = H] = 1.15 +/- 0.12), visual extinction AV less than or similar to 0.15 mag) and dust depletion ([Zn = Fe] = 1.01 +/- 0.10) are intermediate between the values of well-st
