The First Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope GRB Afterglow Catalog
P. W. A. Roming, T. S. Koch, S. R. Oates +21
We present the first Swift Ultra-Violet/Optical Telescope (UVOT) gamma-ray burst (GRB) afterglow catalog. The catalog contains data from over 64,000 independent UVOT image observat…
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…
The Rapidly Flaring Afterglow of the Very Bright and Energetic GRB 070125
Adria C. Updike, Joshua B. Haislip, Melissa C. Nysewander +52
We report on multi-wavelength observations, ranging from the X-ray to radio wave bands, of the IPN-localized gamma-ray burst GRB 070125. Spectroscopic observations reveal the prese…
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…
A Comprehensive Analysis of Swift/XRT Data: III. Jet Break Candidates in X-ray and Optical Afterglow Lightcurves
En-Wei Liang, Judith L. Racusin, Bing Zhang +2
The Swift/XRT data of 179 GRBs (from 050124 to 070129) and the optical afterglow data of 57 pre- and post-Swift GRBs are analyzed, in order to systematically investigate the jet-li…
The First Survey of X-ray Flares from Gamma Ray Bursts Observed by Swift: Spectral Properties and Energetics
A. D. Falcone, D. Morris, J. Racusin +12
Observations of gamma ray bursts (GRBs) with Swift produced the initially surprising result that many bursts have large X-ray flares superimposed on the underlying afterglow. The f…
