The Needle in the 100 deg2 Haystack: Uncovering Afterglows of Fermi GRBs with the Palomar Transient Factory

Leo P. Singer, Mansi M. Kasliwal, S. Bradley Cenko +32

The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has greatly expanded the number and energy window of observations of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs). However, the coarse localizations of tens to a hun…

Search for gravitational waves associated with gamma-ray bursts detected by the InterPlanetary Network

The LIGO Scientific Collaboration, the Virgo Collaboration, J. Aasi +901

We present the results of a search for gravitational waves associated with 223 gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) detected by the InterPlanetary Network (IPN) in 2005-2010 during LIGO's fifth…

Implications for the Origin of GRB 070201 from LIGO Observations

LIGO Scientific Collaboration, K. Hurley

We analyzed the available LIGO data coincident with GRB 070201, a short duration hard spectrum gamma-ray burst whose electromagnetically determined sky position is coincident with…

Swift observations of GRB050904: the most distant cosmic explosion ever observed

G. Cusumano, V. Mangano, G. Chincarini +30

Swift discovered the high redshift (z=6.29) GRB050904 with the Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) and began observing with its narrow field instruments 161 s after the burst onset. This g…

Detection of a huge explosion in the early Universe

G. Cusumano, V. Mangano, G. Chincarini +29

Gamma-ray Bursts (GRBs) are bright flashes of high energy photons that can last from about 10 milliseconds to 10 minutes. Their origin and nature have puzzled the scientific commun…
