Detection of a Thermal Spectral Component in the Prompt Emission of GRB 100724B
Sylvain Guiriec, Valerie Connaughton, Michael S. Briggs +29
Observations of GRB 100724B with the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) find that the spectrum is dominated by the typical Band functional form, which is usually taken to represen…
When A Standard Candle Flickers
Colleen A. Wilson-Hodge, Michael L. Cherry, Wayne H. Baumgartner +27
The Crab Nebula is the only hard X-ray source in the sky that is both bright enough and steady enough to be easily used as a standard candle. As a result, it has been used as a nor…
Time-Resolved Spectroscopy of the 3 Brightest and Hardest Short Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed with the FGST Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor
Sylvain Guiriec, Michael S. Briggs, Valerie Connaugthon +25
From July 2008 to October 2009, the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGST) has detected 320 Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs). About 20% of these e…
Fermi observations of high-energy gamma-ray emission from GRB 090217A
Fermi-LAT, Fermi-GBM Collaborations
The Fermi observatory is advancing our knowledge of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) through pioneering observations at high energies, covering more than 7 decades in energy with the two on…
GRB 021004: Tomography of a gamma-ray burst progenitor and its host galaxy
A. J. Castro-Tirado, P. Möller, G. García-Segura +23
We analyse the distribution of matter around the progenitor star of gamma-ray burst GRB 021004 as well as the properties of its host galaxy with high-resolution echelle as well as…
GRB 090902B: afterglow observations and implications
S. B. Pandey, C. A. Swenson, D. A. Perley +30
The optical-infrared afterglow of the LAT-detected long duration burst, GRB 090902B, has been observed by several instruments. The earliest detection by ROTSE-IIIa occurred 80 minu…
