BurstCube: A CubeSat for Gravitational Wave Counterparts
Judith Racusin, Jeremy S. Perkins, Michael S. Briggs +12
BurstCube will detect long GRBs, attributed to the collapse of massive stars, short GRBs (sGRBs), resulting from binary neutron star mergers, as well as other gamma-ray transients…
Fermi observations of the LIGO event GW170104
Melissa Pesce-Rollins, Nicola Omodei, Dan Kocevski +3
We present the \emph{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM) and Large Area Telescope (LAT) observations of the LIGO binary black hole merger (BBH) event GW170104. No candidate electr…
Updates to the Fermi-GBM Short GRB Targeted Offline Search in Preparation for LIGO's Second Observing Run
A. Goldstein, E. Burns, R. Hamburg +5
We detail the improvements made to the targeted offline search of Fermi-GBM data for coincident signals to LIGO gravitational wave triggers. Description of the changes are included…
GBM Observations of V404 Cyg During its 2015 Outburst
P. A. Jenke, C. A. Wilson-Hodge, Jeroen Homan +6
V404 Cygni was discovered in 1989 by the X-ray satellite during its only previously observed X-ray outburst and soon after confirmed as a black hole binary. On June 15, 201…
The JEM-EUSO Mission: Status and Prospects in 2011
EUSO Collaboration, J. H. Adams, S. Ahmad +256
Contributions of the JEM-EUSO Collaboration to the 32nd International Cosmic Ray Conference, Beijing, August, 2011.
Summary Report of JEM-EUSO Workshop at KICP in Chicago
J. H. Adams, L. A. Anchordoqui, M. Bertaina +12
This document contains a summary of the workshop which took place on 22 - 24 February 2012 at the Kavli Institute of Cosmological Physics in the University of Chicago. The goal of…
Searching for Unmodeled Sources Using the Earth Occultation Data from the Fermi GBM
James Rodi, Gary L. Case, Michael L. Cherry +5
Employing the 12 NaI detectors in the Fermi GBM, the Earth Occultation Technique (EOT) can be used to measure the fluxes of x-ray and gamma-ray sources. Each time a source passes b…
Multiwavelength observations of Mkn 501 during the 1997 high state
D. Petry, M. Boettcher, V. Connaughton +10
During the observation period 1997, the nearby Blazar Mkn 501 showed extremely strong emission and high variability. We examine multiwavelength aspects of this event using radio, o…
The Fourth BATSE Gamma-Ray Burst Catalog (Revised)
W. S. Paciesas, C. A. Meegan, G. N. Pendleton +15
The Burst and Transient Source Experiment (BATSE) on the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) has triggered on 1637 cosmic gamma-ray bursts between 1991 April 19 and 1996 August 29…
Discovery of >350 GeV Gamma Rays from the BL Lacertae Object 1ES 2344+514
M. Catanese, C. W. Akerlof, H. M. Badran +31
We present the discovery of >350 GeV gamma-ray emission from the BL Lacertae object 1ES 2344+514 with the Whipple Observatory 10m gamma-ray telescope. This is the third BL Lac obje…
GRB Repetition Limits from Current BATSE Observations
Jon Hakkila, Charles A. Meegan, Geoffrey N. Pendleton +4
Revised upper limits on gamma-ray burst repetition rates are found using the BATSE 3B and 4B catalogs. A statistical repetition model is assumed in which sources burst at a mean ra…
BATSE GRB Location Errors
M. S. Briggs, G. N. Pendleton, J. J. Brainerd +4
We characterize the error distribution of BATSE GRB locations by modeling the distribution of separations between BATSE locations and IPN annuli. We determine error model parameter…
