The Optical SN 2012bz Associated with the Long GRB 120422A

A. Melandri, E. Pian, P. Ferrero +34

The association of Type Ic SNe with long-duration GRBs is well established. We endeavor, through accurate ground-based observational campaigns, to characterize these SNe at increas…

A universal scaling for short and long gamma-ray bursts: E_{X,iso}-E_{gamma,iso}-E_{pk}

M. G. Bernardini, R. Margutti, E. Zaninoni +1

The comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves, collecting data from six years of operation, revealed the existence of a universal scaling among the isotropic e…

The prompt-afterglow connection in Gamma-Ray Bursts: a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves

R. Margutti, E. Zaninoni, M. G. Bernardini +20

We present a comprehensive statistical analysis of Swift X-ray light-curves of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) collecting data from more than 650 GRBs discovered by Swift and other facilit…

X-ray flare candidates in short gamma-ray bursts

R. Margutti, G. Chincarini, J. Granot +7

We present the first systematic study of X-ray flare candidates in short gamma-ray bursts (SGRBs) exploiting the large 6-year Swift database with the aim to constrain the physical…

The Swift Serendipitous Survey in deep XRT GRB fields (SwiftFT) I. The X-ray catalog and number counts

S. Puccetti, M. Capalbi, P. Giommi +12

We searched for X-ray serendipitous sources in over 370 Swift-XRT fields centered on gamma ray bursts detected between 2004 and 2008 and observed with total exposures ranging from…

GRB 081029: Understanding Multiple Afterglow Components

S. T. Holland, M. De Pasquale, J. Mao +9

We present an analysis of the unusual optical light curve of the gamma-ray burst GRB~081029, which occurred at a redshift of z = 3.8479$. We combine X-ray and optical observations…
