GRB 050505: a high-redshift burst discovered by Swift

We report the discovery and subsequent multiwavelength afterglow behaviour of the high-redshift (z= 4.27) Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) 050505. This burst is the third most-distant burst, measured by spectroscopic redshift, discovered after GRB 000131 (z= 4.50) and GRB 050904 (z= 6.29). GRB 050505 is a long GRB with a multipeaked …
