Fermi-GBM Discovery of GRB 221009A: An Extraordinarily Bright GRB from Onset to Afterglow

S. Lesage, P. Veres, M. S. Briggs +136

We report the discovery of GRB 221009A, the highest flux gamma-ray burst ever observed by the Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM). This GRB has continuous prompt emission lasting m…

GRB 221009A, The BOAT

Eric Burns, Dmitry Svinkin, Edward Fenimore +23

GRB 221009A has been referred to as the Brightest Of All Time (the BOAT). We investigate the veracity of this statement by comparing it with a half century of prompt gamma-ray burs…

The Second Catalog of Interplanetary Network Localizations of Konus Short Duration Gamma-Ray Bursts

D. Svinkin, K. Hurley, A. Ridnaia +72

We present the catalog of Interplanetary Network (IPN) localizations for 199 short-duration gamma-ray bursts (sGRBs) detected by the Konus-Wind (KW) experiment between 2011 January…

The Future of Gamma-Ray Experiments in the MeV-EeV Range

Kristi Engel, Jordan Goodman, Petra Huentemeyer +95

Gamma-rays, the most energetic photons, carry information from the far reaches of extragalactic space with minimal interaction or loss of information. They bring messages about par…

Identification of a Local Sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts Consistent with a Magnetar Giant Flare Origin

E. Burns, D. Svinkin, K. Hurley +23

Cosmological Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) are known to arise from distinct progenitor channels: short GRBs mostly from neutron star mergers and long GRBs from a rare type of core-collap…

Rapid Spectral Variability of a Giant Flare from a Magnetar in NGC 253

O. J. Roberts, P. Veres, M. G. Baring +18

Magnetars are slowly-rotating neutron stars with extremely strong magnetic fields ( G), episodically emitting ms long X-ray bursts with energies of $\sim10^{4…
