Swift/BAT monitoring of Fermi/LAT sources

Hans A. Krimm, Scott D. Barthelmy, Neil Gehrels +9

The Swift Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) hard X-ray transient monitor tracks more than 700 galactic and extragalactic sources on time scales ranging from a single Swift pointing (appr…

A new analysis of the short-duration, hard-spectrum GRB 051103, a possible extragalactic SGR giant flare

K. Hurley, A. Rowlinson, E. Bellm +34

GRB 051103 is considered to be a candidate soft gamma repeater (SGR) extragalactic giant magnetar flare by virtue of its proximity on the sky to M81/M82, as well as its time histor…

GRB 090423 at a redshift of z~8.1

R. Salvaterra, M. Della Valle, S. Campana +42

Gamma-ray bursts (GRBSs) are produced by rare types of massive stellar explosions. Their rapidly fading afterglows are often bright enough at optical wavelengths, that they are det…

A Fast Chi-squared Technique For Period Search of Irregularly Sampled Data

David M. Palmer

A new, computationally- and statistically-efficient algorithm, the Fast algorithm, can find a periodic signal with harmonic content in irregularly-sampled data with non-unifo…
