A search of the Orion spur for continuous gravitational waves using a "loosely coherent" algorithm on data from LIGO interferometers

J. Aasi, B. P. Abbott, R. Abbott +920

We report results of a wideband search for periodic gravitational waves from isolated neutron stars within the Orion spur towards both the inner and outer regions of our Galaxy. As…

Properties of Low Luminosity Afterglow Gamma-ray Bursts

H. Dereli, M. Boer, B. Gendre +2

Aims: We characterize a sample of Gamma-Ray Bursts with low luminosity X-ray afterglows (LLA GRBs), and study their properties. Method: We select a sample consisting of the 12\% fa…

Testing for a class of ULGRBs using Swift GRBs

Michel Boer, Bruce Gendre, Giulia Stratta

The question of whether ultra-long GRBs form a population different from that of "regular" long GRBs has been much debated recently and during the conference. We discuss here the d…

10 Years of XRT light curves: a general view of the X-ray afterglow

O. Bardho, M. Boer, B. Gendre

During the pre-Swift era, a clustering of light curves was observed in the X-ray, optical and infrared afterglow of gamma-ray bursts. We used a sample of 254 GRB X-ray afterglows t…

Probing the emission physics and weak/soft population of Gamma-Ray Bursts with LOFT

L. Amati, G. Stratta, J. -L. Atteia +36

This is a White Paper in support of the mission concept of the Large Observatory for X-ray Timing (LOFT), proposed as a medium-sized ESA mission. We discuss the potential of LOFT f…
