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…
The first cyclotron harmonic of 4U 1538-52
J. J. Rodes-Roca, J. M. Torrejón, I. Kreykenbohm +3
Cyclotron resonant scattering features are an essential tool for studying the magnetic field of neutron stars. The fundamental line provides a measure of the field strength, while…
3D Relativistic Magnetohydrodynamic Simulations of Current-Driven Instability. I. Instability of a static column
Yosuke Mizuno, Yuri Lyubarsky, Ken-Ichi Nishikawa +1
We have investigated the development of current-driven (CD) kink instability through three-dimensional relativistic MHD simulations. A static force-free equilibrium helical magneti…
Radiation from relativistic jets in turbulent magnetic fields
K. -I. Nishikawa, M. Medvedev, B. Zhang +7
Using our new 3-D relativistic electromagnetic particle (REMP) code parallelized with MPI, we have investigated long-term particle acceleration associated with an relativistic elec…
