Swift-UVOT captures the earliest ultraviolet spectrum of a Gamma Ray Burst
N. P. M. Kuin, W. B. Landsman, M. J. Page +22
We present the earliest ever ultraviolet spectrum of a gamma-ray burst (GRB) as observed with the Swift-UVOT. The GRB 081203A spectrum was observed for 50 seconds with the UV grism…
Correlations of Prompt and Afterglow Emission in Swift Long and Short Gamma Ray Bursts
N. Gehrels, S. D. Barthelmy, D. N. Burrows +12
Correlation studies of prompt and afterglow emissions from gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) between different spectral bands has been difficult to do in the past because few bursts had comp…
A Swift gaze into the 2006 March 29th burst forest of SGR 1900+14
G. L. Israel, P. Romano, V. Mangano +16
We report on the intense burst ``forest'' recorded on 2006 March 29 which lasted for ~30s. More than 40 bursts were detected both by BAT and by XRT, seven of which are rare interme…
Global Properties of X-Ray Flashes and X-Ray-Rich Gamma-Ray Bursts Observed by Swift
T. Sakamoto, D. Hullinger, G. Sato +14
We describe and discuss the spectral and temporal characteristics of the prompt emission and X-ray afterglow emission of X-ray flashes (XRFs) and X-ray-rich gamma-ray bursts (XRRs)…
Periodicities in X-ray Binaries from Swift/BAT Observations
R. Corbet, C. Markwardt, L. Barbier +8
The Burst Alert Telescope (BAT) on board Swift has accumulated extensive light curves for 265 sources (not including GRBs) in the energy range 14 to 200 keV. We present here a summ…
A Link between Prompt Optical and Prompt Gamma-Ray Emission in Gamma-Ray Bursts
W. T. Vestrand, P. R. Wozniak, J. A. Wren +20
The prompt optical emission that arrives with gamma-rays from a cosmic gamma-ray burst (GRB) is a signature of the engine powering the burst, the properties of the ultra-relativist…
