BATSE Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Tails
V. Connaughton
I discuss in this paper the phenomenon of post-burst emission in BATSE gamma-ray bursts at energies traditionally associated with prompt emission. By summing the background-subtrac…
Strategies for prompt searches for GRB afterglows: the discovery of the GRB 001011 optical/near-infrared counterpart using colour-colour selection
J. Gorosabel, J. U. Fynbo, J. Hjorth +25
We report the discovery of the optical and near-infrared counterparts to GRB 001011. The GRB 001011 error box determined by Beppo-SAX was simultaneously imaged in the near-infrared…
SCUBA sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursters: II. GRB 991208, 991216, 000301C, 000630, 000911, 000926
I. A. Smith, R. P. J. Tilanus, R. A. M. J. Wijers +4
We discuss our ongoing program of Target of Opportunity sub-millimeter observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) using the Sub-millimetre Common-User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) on the J…
ROSAT/Chandra Observations of a Bright Transient in M81
Kajal Ghosh, Douglas Swartz, Allyn Tennant +1
We present a 10-year X-ray light curve and the spectra of a peculiar X-ray transient in the spiral galaxy M81. The source was below the detection limit of ROSAT PSPC before 1993, b…
An Overview of the Performance and Scientific Results from the Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO)
M. C. Weisskopf, B. Brinkman, C. Canizares +3
The Chandra X-Ray Observatory (CXO), the x-ray component of NASA's Great Observatories, was launched on 1999, July 23 by the Space Shuttle Columbia. After satellite systems activat…
Chandra Observations of the Anomalous X-ray Pulsar 1E 2259+58.6
S. K. Patel, C. Kouveliotou, P. M. Woods +6
We present X-ray imaging, timing, and phase resolved spectroscopy of the anomalous X-ray pulsar 1E 2259+58.6 using the Chandra X-ray Observatory. The spectrum is well described by…
