An origin for short g-ray bursts unassociated with current star formation
S. D. Barthelmy, G. Chincarini, D. N. Burrows +28
Two short (<2 s) g-ray bursts (GRBs) have recently been localized and fading afterglow counterparts detected. The combination of these two results left unclear the nature of the ho…
Discovery and identification of the very high redshift afterglow of GRB 050904
J. Haislip, M. Nysewander, D. Reichart +39
In 2000, Lamb and Reichart predicted that gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) and their afterglows occur in sufficient numbers and at sufficient brightnesses at very high redshifts (z > 5) to…
Detection of a huge explosion in the early Universe
G. Cusumano, V. Mangano, G. Chincarini +29
Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright flashes of high energy photons that can last from about 10 milliseconds to 10 minutes. Their origin and nature have puzzled the scientific commun…
Swift panchromatic observations of the bright gamma-ray burst GRB050525a
A. J. Blustin, D. Band, S. Barthelmy +12
The bright gamma-ray burst GRB050525a has been detected with the Swift observatory, providing unique multiwavelength coverage from the very earliest phases of the burst. The X-ray…
Swift, INTEGRAL, RXTE, and Spitzer reveal IGR J16283-4838
V. Beckmann, J. A. Kennea, C. Markwardt +9
We present the first combined study of the recently discovered source IGR J16283-4838 with Swift, INTEGRAL, and RXTE. The source, discovered by INTEGRAL on April 7, 2005, shows a h…
A short gamma-ray burst apparently asssociated with an elliptical galaxy at redshift z=0.225
N. Gehrels
Gamma Ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright, brief flashes of high energy photons that have fascinated scientists for 30 years. They come in two classes: long (>2 s), softspectrum bursts an…
