Comparative study of the inial spikes of SGR giant flares in 1998 and 2004 observed with GEOTAIL: Do magnetospheric instabilities trigger large scale fracturing of magnetar's crust?
Y. T. Tanaka, T. Terasawa, N. Kawai +5
We present the unsaturated peak profile of SGR 1900+14 giant flare on 1998 August 27. This was obtained by particle counters of the Low Energy Particle instrument onboard the GEOTA…
Measuring energy dependent polarization in soft gamma-rays using Compton scattering in PoGOLite
M. Axelsson, O. Engdegård, F. Ryde +23
Linear polarization in X- and gamma-rays is an important diagnostic of many astrophysical sources, foremost giving information about their geometry, magnetic fields, and radiation…
X-ray Flashes or soft Gamma-ray Bursts? The case of the likely distant XRF 040912
G. Stratta, S. Basa, N. Butler +49
In this work, we present a multi-wavelength study of XRF 040912, aimed at measuring its distance scale and the intrinsic burst properties. We performed a detailed spectral and temp…
Multi-wavelength analysis of the field of the dark burst GRB 031220
A. Melandri, B. Gendre, L. A. Antonelli +8
We have collected and analyzed data taken in different spectral bands (from X-ray to optical and infrared) of the field of GRB031220 and we present results of such multiband observ…
Chandra Observation of the Interaction between the Hot Plasma Nebula RCW89 and the Pulsar Jet of PSR B1509-58
Y. Yatsu, J. Kataoka, N. Kawai +3
We present a Chandra observation of the H II region RCW89. The nebula lies on 10' north from the central pulsar PSR B1509-58, and it has been suggested that the nebula is irradiate…
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…
