Design and Performance of the Wide-Field X-Ray Monitor on Board the High-Energy Transient Explorer 2
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…

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…
The X-ray Afterglows of GRB 020813 and GRB 021004 with Chandra HETGS: Possible Evidence for a Supernova Prior to GRB 020813
Nathaniel R. Butler, Herman L. Marshall, George R. Ricker +5
We report on the detection of an emission line near 1.3 keV, which we associate with blue-shifted hydrogen-like sulfur (S XVI), in a 76.8 ksec Chandra HETGS spectrum of the aftergl…
HETE-2 Localization and Observation of the Bright, X-Ray-Rich Gamma-Ray Burst GRB021211
G. B. Crew, D. Q. Lamb, G. R. Ricker +35
A bright, x-ray-rich GRB was detected by HETE-2 at 11:18:34.03 UT on 11 Dec 2002. The WXM localization was to 14' and relayed to the GCN 22 s after the start of the burst. The grou…
