Methods and results of an automatic analysis of a complete sample of Swift-XRT observations of GRBs

P. A. Evans, A. P. Beardmore, K. L. Page +22

We present a homogeneous X-ray analysis of all 318 Gamma Ray Bursts detected by the X-ray Telescope on the Swift satellite up to 2008 July 23; this represents the largest sample of…

The Swift X-Ray Telescope: Status and Performance

David N. Burrows, J. A. Kennea, A. F. Abbey +23

We present science highlights and performance from the Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT), which was launched on November 20, 2004. The XRT covers the 0.2-10 keV band, and spends most of…

GRB 070311: a direct link between the prompt emission and the afterglow

C. Guidorzi, S. D. Vergani, S. Sazonov +30

We present prompt gamma-ray, early NIR/optical, late optical and X-ray observations of the peculiar GRB 070311 discovered by INTEGRAL, in order to gain clues on the mechanisms resp…

The First Survey of X-ray Flares from Gamma Ray Bursts Observed by Swift: Temporal Properties and Morphology

G. Chincarini, A. Moretti, P. Romano +24

We present the first systematic investigation of the morphological and timing properties of flares in GRBs observed by Swift/XRT. We consider a large sample drawn from all GRBs det…

GRB 050822: Detailed analysis of an XRF observed by Swift

O. Godet, K. L. Page, J. Osborne +10

We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the GRB 050822 as observed by Swift. This burst is likely to be an XRF showing major X-ray f…

Dust and Gas in the Local Environments of Gamma-Ray Bursts

P. Schady, K. O. Mason, M. J. Page +6

Using a sample of gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglows detected by both the X-Ray and the UV/Optical Telescopes (XRT and UVOT) on Swift, we modelled the spectral energy distributions (…
