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…
GRB010921: Localization and Observations by the HETE Satellite
G. Ricker, K. Hurley, D. Lamb +36
On September 21 at 18950.56 SOD (05:15:50.56) UT the FREGATE gamma-ray instrument on the High Energy Transient Explorer (HETE) detected a bright gamma-ray burst (GRB). The burst wa…

M. Sakano, H. Tomida, M. Matsuoka +16
Monitor of All-sky X-ray Image (MAXI) on the International Space Station (ISS) has two kinds of X-ray detectors: the Gas Slit Camera (GSC) and the Solid-state Slit Camera (SSC). SS…
X-ray Spectral Properties of Gamma-Ray Bursts
T. E. Strohmayer, E. E. Fenimore, T. Murakami +1
We summarize the spectral characteristics of a sample of 22 bright gamma-ray bursts detected with the gamma-ray burst sensors aboard the satellite Ginga. This instrument employed a…
