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…
The BAT-Swift Science Software
D. M. Palmer, E. Fenimore, M. Galassi +22
The BAT instrument tells the Swift satellite where to point to make immediate follow-up observations of GRBs. The science software on board must efficiently process gamma-ray event…
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…
Optical and Infrared Photometry of the Unusual Type Ia Supernova 2000cx
P. Candia, K. Krisciunas, Nicholas B. Suntzeff +16
We present optical and infrared photometry of the unusual Type Ia supernova 2000cx. With the data of Li et al. (2001) and Jha (2002), this comprises the largest dataset ever assemb…
Astrometric Calibration and Estimate of the Systematic Error in WXM Localizations Obtained by the Chicago Bayesian Method
C. Graziani, Y. Shirasaki, T. Donaghy +11
WXM gives GRB localizations in instrument coordinates. WXM localizations must be converted to celestial coordinates using spacecraft aspect information obtained by the optical came…
Spectral analysis of 35 GRBs/XRFs observed with HETE-2/FREGATE
C. Barraud, J-F. Olive, J. P. Lestrade +27
We present a spectral analysis of 35 GRBs detected with the HETE-2 gamma-ray detectors (the FREGATE instrument) in the energy range 7-400 keV. The GRB sample analyzed is made of GR…
