An Algorithm for Detecting Quantum-Gravity Photon Dispersion in Gamma-Ray Bursts: DISCAN
Jeffrey D. Scargle, Jay P. Norris, Jerry T. Bonnell
DisCan is a new algorithm implementing photon dispersion cancellation in order to measure energy-dependent delays in variable sources. This method finds the amount of reversed disp…
Long-lag, Wide-Pulse Gamma-Ray Bursts
J. P. Norris, J. T. Bonnell, D. Kazanas +3
Currently, the best available probe of the early phase of gamma-ray burst (GRB) jet attributes is the prompt gamma-ray emission, in which several intrinsic and extrinsic variables…
Triggers and alerts with GLAST
J. Cohen-Tanugi, N. Omodei, F. Longo +6
We present preliminary results on Gamma Ray Burst (GRB) triggers with the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST). After a brief summary of the detector layout, GLAST expected…
"No High Energy Emission" GRB Class Is Attributable to Brightness Bias
J. T. Bonnell, J. P. Norris
The inhomogeneous brightness distribution of BATSE detected gamma-ray bursts has been considered strong evidence for their cosmological origin. However, subclasses of gamma-ray bur…
