Measurements of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) with Glast
G. G. Lichti, M. Briggs, R. Diehl +9
One of the scientific goals of the main instrument of GLAST is the study of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) in the energy range from ~20 MeV to ~300 GeV. In order to extend the energy meas…
Are Abell Clusters Correlated with Gamma-Ray Bursts?
K. Hurley, D. Hartmann, C. Kouveliotou +4
A recent study has presented marginal statistical evidence that gamma-ray burst sources are correlated with Abell clusters, based on analyses of bursts in the BATSE 3B catalog. Usi…
Prospects for GRB Science with the Fermi Large Area Telescope
D. L. Band, M. Axelsson, L. Baldini +54
The LAT instrument on the Fermi mission will reveal the rich spectral and temporal gamma-ray burst phenomena in the > 100 MeV band. The synergy with Fermi's GBM detectors will link…
Precise Interplanetary Network Localization of the Bursting Pulsar GRO J1744-28
K. Hurley, C. Kouveliotou, T. Cline +8
We analyze 426 observations of the bursting pulsar GRO J1744-28 by Ulysses and BATSE. Triangulating each burst, and statistically combining the triangulation annuli, we obtain a 3…
Carrier-induced ferromagnetism in p-Zn1-xMnxTe
D. Ferrand, J. Cibert, A. Wasiela +9
We present a systematic study of the ferromagnetic transition induced by the holes in nitrogen doped Zn1-xMnxTe epitaxial layers, with particular emphasis on the values of the Curi…
The Interplanetary Network Supplement to the BATSE 5B Catalog of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts
K. Hurley, M. S. Briggs, R. M. Kippen +10
We present Interplanetary Network (IPN) localization information for 343 gamma-ray bursts observed by the Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) between the end of the 4th B…
Carrier induced ferromagnetic interactions in p-doped Zn(1-x)MnxTe epilayers
D. Ferrand, J. Cibert, C. Bourgognon +9
p-type doping of molecular-beam-epitaxy grown layers of the diluted magnetic semiconductor Zn(1-x)MnxTe is achieved by using an active nitrogen cell. The strong interaction between…
Overview of EXIST mission science and implementation
J. Grindlay, N. Gehrels, J. Bloom +14
The Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope (EXIST) is designed to i) use the birth of stellar mass black holes, as revealed by cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), as probes of the ve…
Proposed Next Generation GRB Mission: EXIST
J. Grindlay, N. Gehrels, F. Harrison +7
A next generation Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) mission to follow the upcoming Swift mission is described. The proposed Energetic X-ray Imaging Survey Telescope, EXIST, would yield the lim…
The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM)
G. G. Lichti, M. S. Briggs, R. Diehl +9
The selection of the GLAST burst monitor (GBM) by NASA will allow the investigation of the relation between the keV and the MeV-GeV emission from gamma-ray bursts. The GBM consists…
LOTIS Upper Limits and the Prompt OT from GRB 990123
G. G. Williams, D. H. Hartmann, H. S. Park +14
GRB 990123 established the existence of prompt optical emission from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). The Livermore Optical Transient Imaging System (LOTIS) has been conducting a fully aut…
IPN localizations of Konus short gamma-ray bursts
V. D. Pal'shin, K. Hurley, D. S. Svinkin +71
Between the launch of the \textit{GGS Wind} spacecraft in 1994 November and the end of 2010, the Konus-\textit{Wind} experiment detected 296 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (includ…
The Ulysses Supplement to the BATSE 3B Catalog of Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts
K. Hurley, M. S. Briggs, R. M. Kippen +5
We present Interplanetary Network localization information for 218 gamma-ray bursts in the 3rd BATSE catalog, obtained by analyzing the arrival times of these bursts at the Ulysses…
