Gamma Ray Burst Section of the White Paper on the Status and Future of Ground-based TeV Gamma-ray Astronomy
A. D. Falcone, D. A. Williams, M. G. Baring +20
This is a report on the findings of the gamma ray burst working group for the white paper on the status and future of TeV gamma-ray astronomy. The white paper is an APS commissione…
Observations of LSI+61303 with Swift
J. Holder, A. Falcone, D. Morris
The TeV emitting high-mass X-ray binary system LSI+61303 was observed with the Swift satellite from early September 2006 to early January 2007. Many of these observations were cont…
Very High Energy Observations of Gamma-Ray Burst Locations with the Whipple Telescope
D. Horan, R. W. Atkins, H. M. Badran +56
Gamma-ray burst (GRB) observations at very high energies (VHE, E > 100 GeV) can impose tight constraints on some GRB emission models. Many GRB afterglow models predict a VHE compon…
X-ray Flares in Early GRB Afterglows
D. N. Burrows, A. Falcone, G. Chincarini +12
The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) has discovered that flares are quite common in early X-ray afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), being observed in roughly 50% of afterglows with p…
Gamma Ray Bursts Flares detected and observed by the Swift Satellite
Guido Chincarini, Alberto Moretti, Patrizia Romano +11
The detection of flares with the Swift satellite triggered a lot of bservational and theoretical interest in these phenomena. As a consequence a large analysis effort started withi…
Evidence for TeV Emission from GRB 970417a
The Milagro Collaboration, R. Atkins, W. Benbow +37
Milagrito, a detector sensitive to very high energy gamma rays, monitored the northern sky from February 1997 through May 1998. With a large field of view and a high duty cycle, th…
