TALON - The Telescope Alert Operation Network System: Intelligent Linking of Distributed Autonomous Robotic Telescopes
R. R. White, J. Wren, H. Davis +4
The internet has brought about great change in the astronomical community, but this interconnectivity is just starting to be exploited for use in instrumentation. Utilizing the int…
Global Characteristics of X-Ray Flashes and X-Ray-Rich GRBs Observed by HETE-2
T. Sakamoto, D. Q. Lamb, C. Graziani +35
We describe and discuss the global properties of 45 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) observed by HETE-2 during the first three years of its mission, focusing on the properties of X-Ray Flas…
The Trigger Algorithm for the Burst Alert Telescope on Swift
E. Fenimore, D. Palmer, M. Galassi +5
The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) is a huge (5200 cm2) coded aperture imager that will detect gamma-ray bursts in real time and provide a location that the Swift satellite will…
High Energy Observations of XRF 030723: Evidence for an Off-axis Gamma-Ray Burst?
N. R. Butler, T. Sakamoto, M. Suzuki +34
We report High Energy Transient Explorer 2 (HETE-2) Wide Field X-ray Monitor/French Gamma Telescope observations of XRF030723 along with observations of the XRF afterglow made usin…
HETE Observations of the Gamma-Ray Burst GRB030329: Evidence for an Underlying Soft X-ray Component
R. Vanderspek, T. Sakamoto, C. Barraud +30
An exceptionally intense gamma-ray burst, GRB030329, was detected and localized by the instruments on board the High Energy Transient Explorer satellite (HETE) at 11:37:14 UT on 29…
