GRB 110918A is the brightest long GRB detected by Konus-WIND during its 19 years of continuous observations and the most luminous GRB ever observed since the beginning of the cosmo…
HETE-2 Localization and Observations of the Short, Hard Gamma-Ray Burst GRB020531
D. Q. Lamb, G. R. Ricker, J. -L. Atteia +44
The {\it HETE-2} (hereafter \HETE) French Gamma Telescope (FREGATE) and the Wide-field X-ray Monitor (WXM) instruments detected a short ( msec in the FREGATE 85-300 k…
A bright gamma-ray flare interpreted as a giant magnetar flare in NGC 253
D. Svinkin, D. Frederiks, K. Hurley +33
Magnetars are young, highly magnetized neutron stars that produce extremely rare giant flares of gamma-rays, the most luminous astrophysical phenomena in our Galaxy. The detection…
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…
Mars Odyssey Joins The Third Interplanetary Network
K. Hurley, I. Mitrofanov, A. Kozyrev +11
The Mars Odyssey spacecraft carries two experiments which are capable of detecting cosmic gamma-ray bursts and soft gamma repeaters. Since April 2001 they have detected over 275 bu…
Interplanetary Network Localization of GRB991208 and the Discovery of its Afterglow
K. Hurley, T. Cline, E. Mazets +9
The extremely energetic (~10^-4 erg/cm^2) gamma-ray burst (GRB) of 1999 December 8 was triangulated to a ~14 sq. arcmin. error box ~1.8 d after its arrival at Earth with the 3rd in…
Extremely long hard bursts observed by Konus-Wind
V. Pal'shin, R. Aptekar, D. Frederiks +18
We report the observations of the prompt emission of the extremely long hard burst, GRB 060814B, discovered by Konus-Wind and localized by the IPN. The observations reveal a smooth…
The Interplanetary Network Supplement to the BeppoSAX Gamma-Ray Burst Catalogs
K. Hurley, C. Guidorzi, F. Frontera +31
Between 1996 July and 2002 April, one or more spacecraft of the interplanetary network detected 787 cosmic gamma-ray bursts that were also detected by the Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor a…
The Second Catalog of Interplanetary Network Localizations of Konus Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts
D. Svinkin, K. Hurley, A. Ridnaia +72
We present the catalog of Interplanetary Network (IPN) localizations for 199 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) detected by the Konus-Wind (KW) experiment between 2011 January…
The Interplanetary Network Supplement to the Fermi GBM Catalog - An AO-2 and AO-3 Guest Investigator Project
K. Hurley, M. Briggs, V. Connaughton +37
In the first two years of operation of the Fermi GBM, the 9-spacecraft Interplanetary Network (IPN) detected 158 GBM bursts with one or two distant spacecraft, and triangulated the…
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 afterglow of the short/intermediate-duration gamma-ray burst GRB 000301C: A jet at z=2.04
B. L. Jensen, J. U. Fynbo, J. Gorosabel +23
We present Ulysses and NEAR data from the detection of the short or intermediate duration (2 s) gamma-ray burst GRB000301C (2000 March 1.41 UT). The gamma-ray burst (GRB) was local…
Integrating the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor into the 3rd Interplanetary Network
K. Hurley, M. Briggs, V. Connaughton +35
We are integrating the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) into the Interplanetary Network (IPN) of Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) detectors. With the GBM, the IPN will comprise 9 experimen…
Inverse Compton X-ray Emission from Supernovae with Compact Progenitors: Application to SN2011fe
R. Margutti, A. M. Soderberg, L. Chomiuk +35
We present a generalized analytic formalism for the inverse Compton X-ray emission from hydrogen-poor supernovae and apply this framework to SN2011fe using Swift-XRT, UVOT and Chan…
