From Rare Events to a Population: Discovering Overlooked Extragalactic Magnetar Giant Flare Candidates in Archival Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor Data
Aaron C. Trigg, Eric Burns, Michela Negro +16
Magnetar giant flares (MGFs) are rare, extremely bright bursts of gamma-rays from highly magnetized neutron stars. These events are challenging to identify because, at extragalacti…
GRB 250702B: Discovery of a Gamma-Ray Burst from a Black Hole Falling into a Star
Eliza Neights, Eric Burns, Chris L. Fryer +52
Gamma-ray bursts are the most luminous electromagnetic events in the universe. Their prompt gamma-ray emission has typical durations between a fraction of a second and several minu…
Fermi-GBM Observations of GRB 230307A: An Exceptionally Bright Long-Duration Gamma-ray Burst with an Associated Kilonova
S. Dalessi, P. Veres, C. M. Hui +22
On March 7th, 2023 the \textit{Fermi} Gamma-ray Burst Monitor observed the second highest fluence gamma-ray burst (GRB) ever, GRB~230307A. With a duration beyond 100~s, GRB~230307A…
Time-Domain And MultiMessenger Astrophysics Communications Science Analysis Group Report
Jamie A. Kennea, Judith L. Racusin, Eric Burns +11
The Time-Domain And MultiMessenger (TDAMM) Communications Science Analysis Group (TDAMMCommSAG) was formulated to describe the unique technical challenges of communicating rapidly…
Fermi-GBM Team Analysis on The Ravasio Line
Eric Burns, Stephen Lesage, Adam Goldstein +20
The prompt spectra of gamma-ray bursts are known to follow broadband continuum behavior over decades in energy. GRB 221009A, given the moniker the brightest of all time (BOAT), is…
GRB 221009A: the B.O.A.T Burst that Shines in Gamma Rays
M. Axelsson, M. Ajello, M. Arimoto +151
We present a complete analysis of Fermi Large Area Telescope (LAT) data of GRB 221009A, the brightest Gamma-Ray Burst (GRB) ever detected. The burst emission above 30 MeV detected…
Non-detection of Neutrinos from the BOAT: Improved Constraints on the Parameters of GRB 221009A
P. Veres, N. Fraija, S. Lesage +3
The IceCube neutrino observatory detects the diffuse astrophysical neutrino background with high significance, but the contribution of different classes of sources is not establish…
Characterizing the Ordinary Broad-lined Type Ic SN 2023pel from the Energetic GRB 230812B
Gokul P. Srinivasaragavan, Vishwajeet Swain, Brendan M. O'Connor +39
We report observations of the optical counterpart of the long gamma-ray burst (LGRB) GRB 230812B, and its associated supernova (SN) SN 2023pel. The proximity () and high…
A Joint Fermi-GBM and Swift-BAT Analysis of Gravitational-Wave Candidates from the Third Gravitational-wave Observing Run
C. Fletcher, J. Wood, R. Hamburg +1696
We present Fermi Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (Fermi-GBM) and Swift Burst Alert Telescope (Swift-BAT) searches for gamma-ray/X-ray counterparts to gravitational wave (GW) candidate even…
Gamma-ray Transient Network Science Analysis Group Report
Eric Burns, Michael Coughlin, Kendall Ackley +34
The Interplanetary Network (IPN) is a detection, localization and alert system that utilizes the arrival time of transient signals in gamma-ray detectors on spacecraft separated by…
Extreme Variability in a Long Duration Gamma-ray Burst Associated with a Kilonova
P. Veres, P. N. Bhat, E. Burns +19
The recent discovery of a kilonova from the long duration gamma-ray burst, GRB 211211A, challenges classification schemes based on temporal information alone. Gamma-ray properties…
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: Discovery of an Exceptionally Rare Nearby and Energetic Gamma-Ray Burst
Maia A. Williams, Jamie A. Kennea, S. Dichiara +53
We report the discovery of the unusually bright long-duration gamma-ray burst (GRB), GRB 221009A, as observed by the Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory (Swift), Monitor of All-sky X-ra…
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…
Fermi-GBM Observations of GRB 210812A: Signatures of a Million Solar Mass Gravitational Lens
P. Veres, N. Bhat, N. Fraija +1
Observing gravitationally lensed objects in the time domain is difficult, and well-observed time-varying sources are rare. Lensed gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) offer improved timing prec…
