Flares in Gamma Ray Bursts
G. Chincarini, J. Mao, F. Pasotti +4
The flare activity that is observed in GRBs soon after the prompt emission with the XRT (0.3-10 KeV) instrument on board of the Swift satellite is leading to important clues in rel…
Temporal variability of GRB early X-ray afterglows and GRB080319B prompt emission
R. Margutti, C. Guidorzi, G. Chincarini +3
We performed the first systematic search for the minimum variability time scale between 0.3 and 10 keV studying the 28 brightest early (<3000 s) afterglows detected by Swift-XRT up…
The Luminosity Function of Long Gamma-Ray Bursts and their rate at z>6
R. Salvaterra, S. Campana, G. Chincarini +6
We compute the luminosity function (LF) and the formation rate of long gamma ray bursts (GRBs) in three different scenarios: i) GRBs follow the cosmic star formation and their LF i…
Outliers from the mainstream: how a massive star can produce a gamma-ray burst
S. Campana, N. Panagia, D. Lazzati +12
It is now recognized that long-duration Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are linked to the collapse of massive stars, based on the association between (low-redshift) GRBs and (type Ic) core…
A Swift gaze into the 2006 March 29th burst forest of SGR 1900+14
G. L. Israel, P. Romano, V. Mangano +16
We report on the intense burst ``forest'' recorded on 2006 March 29 which lasted for ~30s. More than 40 bursts were detected both by BAT and by XRT, seven of which are rare interme…
The complex light-curve of the afterglow of GRB071010A
S. Covino, P. D'Avanzo, A. Klotz +51
We present and discuss the results of an extensive observational campaign devoted to GRB071010A, a long-duration gamma-ray burst detected by the Swift satellite. This event was fol…
