AGILE detection of delayed gamma-ray emission from GRB 080514B
A. Giuliani, S. Mereghetti, F. Fornari +55
GRB 080514B is the first gamma ray burst (GRB), since the time of EGRET, for which individual photons of energy above several tens of MeV have been detected with a pair-conversion…
X-ray Flares in Early GRB Afterglows
D. N. Burrows, A. Falcone, G. Chincarini +12
The Swift X-ray Telescope (XRT) has discovered that flares are quite common in early X-ray afterglows of Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs), being observed in roughly 50% of afterglows with p…
The X-ray afterglow of the short gamma ray burst 050724
S. Campana, G. Tagliaferri, D. Lazzati +23
Short duration (<2 s) Gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) have been a mystery since their discovery. Until May 2005 very little was known about short GRBs, but this situation has changed rapid…
Late-Time X-ray Flares during GRB Afterglows: Extended Internal Engine Activity
A. D. Falcone, D. N. Burrows, P. Romano +21
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. These…
Swift observations of the prompt X-ray emission and afterglow from GRB050126 and GRB050219A
M. R. Goad
We report on the temporal and spectral characteristics of the early X-ray emission from the Gamma Ray Bursts GRB050126 and GRB050219A as observed by Swift. The X-ray light-curves o…
Gamma-ray bursts: Restarting the Engine
Andrew King, Paul T. O'Brien, Michael R. Goad +3
Recent gamma-ray burst observations have revealed late-time, highly energetic events which deviate from the simplest expectations of the standard fireball picture. Instead they may…
