Y. Shirasaki, N. Kawai, A. Yoshida +18
The Wide-field X-ray Monitor (WXM) is one of the scientific instruments carried on the High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2) satellite launched on 2000 October 9. HETE-2 is an…
Highlights of the HETE-2 Mission
D. Q. Lamb, G. R. Ricker, J. -L. Atteia +37
The HETE-2 mission has been highly productive. It has observed more than 250 GRBs so far. It is currently localizing 25 - 30 GRBs per year, and has localized 43 GRBs to date. Twent…
The Earliest Optical Observations of GRB 030329

HETE-2 Observations of the Extremely Soft X-Ray Flash XRF 020903
T. Sakamoto, D. Q. Lamb, C. Graziani +36
We report HETE-2 WXM/FREGATE observations of the X-ray flash, XRF 020903. This event was extremely soft: the ratio log(S_X/S_gamma) = 0.7, where S_X and S_gamma are the fluences in…
Period change of Superhumps in the WZ Sge-Type Dwarf Nova, HV Virginis
R. Ishioka, T. Kato, M. Uemura +12
After 10 years of quiescence, HV Vir underwent a superoutburst in January 2002. We report time-series observations clearly revealing the period change of ordinary superhumps during…
