Additional information
The paper reports the discovery of a gamma-ray burst at a record spectroscopic redshift. Tanvir’s position as lead author on this paper reflects his role as Principal Investigator of most of the observing programs which fed into the paper. Tanvir was responsible for the modelling the spectroscopic and photometric data to provide the best estimate of the redshift and its range of uncertainty. He also was primarily responsible for drafting of the paper, in addition to coordinating acquisition and reduction of the primary data-sets.
