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…
The Fermi GBM Gamma-Ray Burst Spectral Catalog: 10 Years of Data
S. Poolakkil, R. Preece, C. Fletcher +17
We present the systematic spectral analyses of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the Fermi Gamma-Ray Burst Monitor (GBM) during its first ten years of operation. This catalog con…
Smoke and Mirrors: Signal-to-Noise and Time-Reversed Structures in Gamma-Ray Burst Pulse Light Curves
Jon Hakkila, Stephen Lesage, Stanley McAfee +3
We demonstrate that the `smoke' of limited instrumental sensitivity smears out structure in gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulse light curves, giving each a triple-peaked appearance at mode…
