AGILE detection of delayed gamma-ray emission from GRB 080514B
A. Giuliani, S. Mereghetti, F. Fornari +55
GRB 080514B is the first gamma ray burst (GRB), since the time of EGRET, for which individual photons of energy above several tens of MeV have been detected with a pair-conversion…
Mars Odyssey Joins The Third Interplanetary Network
K. Hurley, I. Mitrofanov, A. Kozyrev +11
The Mars Odyssey spacecraft carries two experiments which are capable of detecting cosmic gamma-ray bursts and soft gamma repeaters. Since April 2001 they have detected over 275 bu…
An exceptionally bright flare from SGR1806-20 and the origins of short-duration gamma-ray bursts
K. Hurley, S. E. Boggs, D. M. Smith +17
Soft-gamma-ray repeaters (SGRs) are galactic X-ray stars that emit numerous short-duration (about 0.1 s) bursts of hard X-rays during sporadic active periods. They are thought to b…
The Current Performance of the Third Interplanetary Network
K. Hurley, T. Cline, I. Mitrofanov +6
The 3rd Interplanetary Network (IPN) has been operating since April 2001 with two distant spacecraft, Ulysses and Mars Odyssey, and numerous near-Earth spacecraft, such as BeppoSAX…
Average Emissivity Curve of BATSE Gamma-Ray Bursts with Different Intensities
I. G. Mitrofanov, M. L. Litvak, M. S. Briggs +4
Six intensity groups with ~150 BATSE gamma-ray bursts each are compared using average emissivity curves. Time-stretch factors for each of the dimmer groups are estimated with respe…
Average Cosmological Invariant Parameters of Cosmic Gamma Ray Burst
I. G. Mitrofanov, D. S. Anfimov, M. L. Litvak +5
Average cosmological invariant parameters (ACIPs) are calculated for six groups of BATSE cosmic gamma-ray bursts selected by their peak fluxes on the 1.024 s time scale. The ACIPs…
Resent Models of Cosmic Gamma Ray Bursts and Needs for Future Observations
I. G. Mitrofanov
The paper presents the nowdays definition of the phenomenon of cosmic gamma ray bursts, refers to the main alternative models of their origin and proposes three promising domains o…
The Direct Test of Cosmological Model for Cosmic Gamma-Ray Bursts Based on the Peak Alignment Averaging
I. G. Mitrofanov, M. L. Litvak, D. A. Ushakov
The cosmological origin of cosmic gamma-ray bursts is tested using the method of peak alignment for the averaging of time profiles. The test is applied to the basic cosmological mo…
