A Search for Early Optical Emission from Short and Long Duration Gamma-ray Bursts

Robert Kehoe, Carl Akerlof, Richard Balsano +16

Gamma-ray bursts of short duration may harbor vital clues to the range of phenomena producing bursts. However, recent progress from the observation of optical counterparts has not…

X-Ray Light Curves of Gamma-ray Bursts Detected with the All-Sky Monitor on RXTE

D. A. Smith, A. Levine, H. Bradt +6

We present X-ray light curves (1.5-12 keV) for fifteen gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the All-Sky Monitor on the Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer. We compare these soft X-ray light…

On the Fast Spectral Variability of GRBs

E. P. Mazets, R. L. Aptekar, P. S. Butterworth +5

Fast spectral variability of gamma-ray burst emission is considered for a number of events seen by the Konus-Wind experiment. The variability manifests itself as a strong correlati…

General Properties of Recurrent Bursts from SGRs

R. L. Aptekar, P. S. Butterworth, T. L. Cline +5

General properties of SGR bursts are considered using observational data collected in the Konus catalog of SGR activity.

Rapid Optical Followup Observations of SGR Events with ROTSE-I

ROTSE Collaboration, C. Akerlof, R. Balsano +17

In order to observe nearly simultaneous emission from Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs), the Robotic Optical Transient Search Experiment (ROTSE) receives triggers via the GRB Coordinates Net…

Konus catalog of SGR activity to 2000

R. L. Aptekar, D. D. Frederiks, S. V. Golenetskii +5

Observational data on the bursting activity of all five known Soft Gamma Repeaters are presented. This information was obtained with Konus gamma-ray burst experiments on board Vene…
